Widespread Panic - Cease Fire lyrics

A little smoke in the alley Lightning down the street Ignited eyes of the strangers that we see Fires turn to ashes Dressed in tear drops over me See the flames glowing higher Cease fire It all started in the caves Before we even understood On and on and on and on it goes all the hate and greed and good Religion is better We'll let you join us if you would Brothers and sisters inspire Cease fire Blame the pain on any other someone than ourselves It's a carnival of us and them Targets on the shelf We used to laugh and dance Now we're just angry little elves Sing and preach it to the choir Cease fire
