[Verse 1] You don't start the fire You just turn it on Yours is to always know not why Just turn your head and walk away Dinosaur in the ice Buffalo on the plain Sun in the sky still rising Children lost in the grain Sun in the sky still rising Children lost in the grain [Verse 2] Suffering every way you'd look Really good in that thing I tried to write a book for you Couldn't hold the pen, couldn't find the paper Tender is the night That sweeps us up in its folly I left my keys on the kite And my violin on the trolley I left my keys on the kite And my violin on the trolley [Verse 3] What's in that dark glove? Is it a song about Gloria? Is it a song about love And the stars up above? You drink a cup of wine To settle your nerves You float down the Rhine Beside your plastic bag You float down the Rhine Clutching a plastic bag [Verse 4] It's a miracle every time I open my mouth And silence is golden It blinks and it sighs It takes a look outside At a ball on a tether I know a lot about the light And I heard a bit about the weather I know a lot about the light I heard a bit about the weather [Verse 5] To see you crane your neck When the world's at war When the world's at war You get a tick in your neck Some bands like the strife Some bands like to shimmy Bombs go off in your eye I'm so much deeper than the damage Bombs go off in your eye I'm so much deeper than the damage [Outro] Dinosaur in the ice Buffalo on the plain Sun in the sky still rising Sun in the sky still rising Sun in the sky still rising Sun in the sky
