Long distance runner – What you standin' there for? Get up, get out – Get out of the door You're playing cold music on the ballroom floor Drowned in your laughter – And dead to the core There's a dragon with matches loose on the town It takes a whole pail of water just to cool him down Fire on the mountain – Fire on the mountain Fire on the mountain – Fire on the mountain Almost ablaze – Still you don't feel the heat It takes all you got just to say on the beat You say it's a living – We all gotta eat You're here alonе – There no one to compеte If mercy's a business – I wish it were you More than just ashes when your dreams come true Fire on the mountain – Fire on the mountain Fire on the mountain – Fire on the mountain Long distance runner – What you holdin' out for Caught in slow motion – In a dash for the door The flame from your stage – Has now spread to the floor You gave all you had – Why you wanna give more They more you give – The more it'll take To the thin line beyond which – You really, you really can't fake Fire on the mountain – Fire on the mountain Fire on the mountain – Fire on the mountain
