Wildfire

The dawns almost breaking

And I'm stumbling downtown

A gust of wind upturns my umbrella

Into a crown

Two Dalmatians roll by

Like a gambler's dice

I think I'll take my chances

With the inescapable night

Wildfire

Burning to the sea

Wild desire

Taking over me

Now I'm nursing a whiskey

And I silently wonder

With a rosary in one hand

And worry beads in the other

Am I looking to find whatever

God did not mess me with?

Will they find me dead in a ditch

On the road to success?

Wildfire

Burning to the sea

Wild desire

Taking over me

I fall like a sinner at the altar

And I vomit in my sink

I wonder am I really broken

Or am I just free?

You put blood in my repertoire

And the veil of God's love

But there is no salvation

In the heavens above

There's just wildfire

Burning to the sea

Wild desire

Taking over me

So Lord bring your hammer of furious mercy

Down on me today

I just don't how much more of your

Beautiful world I can take

For I have felt pleasure

And insurmountable pain

And the only blessings I count

Are your numbered days

In this wildfire

Burning to the sea

Wild desire

Taking over me

Wildfire

Wildfire

Wildfire

Wildfire
