The Fire Inside
There's a hard moon risin' on the streets tonight
- There's a hard moon risin' on the streets tonight
- There's a reckless feeling in your heart as you head out tonight
- Through the concrete canyons to the midtown light
- Where the latest neon promises are burning bright
- Past the open windows on the darker streets
- Where unseen angry voices flash and children cry
- Past the phony posers with their worn out lines
- The tired new money dressed to the nines
- The low life dealers with their bad designs
- And the dilettantes with their open minds
- You're out on the town safe in the crowd
- Ready to go for the ride
- Searching the eyes looking for clues
- There's no way you can hide
- The fire inside
- Well you've been to the clubs and the discotheques
- Where they deal one another from the bottom of a deck of promises
- Where the cautious loners and emotional wrecks
- Do an acting stretch as a way to hide the obvious
- And the lights go down and they dance real close
- And for one brief instant they pretend they're safe and warm
- Then the beat gets louder and the mood is gone
- The darkness scatters as the lights flash on
- They hold one another just a little too long
- And they move apart and then move on
- On to the street on to the next
- Safe in the knowledge that they tried
- Faking the smile hiding the pain
- Never satisfied
- The fire inside
- Fire inside
- Now the hour is late and he thinks you're asleep
- You listen to him dress and you listen to him leave like you knew he would
- You hear his car pull away in the street
- Then you move to the door and you lock it when he's gone for good
- Then you walk to the window and stare at the moon
- Riding high and lonesome through a starlit sky
- And it comes to you how it all slips away
- Youth and beauty are gone one day
- No matter what you dream or feel or say
- It ends in dust and disarray
- Like wind on the plains sand through the glass
- Waves rolling in with the tide
- Dreams die hard and we watch them erode
- But we cannot be denied
- The fire inside
