The Liar - Alright Alright

There was a fire, cross that fairway from our home

The kid was a liar, he had started it on his own alone

With hairspray and a lighter, burnin' bugs up in the eves

The fire department couldn’t get there leaving only ash and grief

Oh the hours, sitting up there on the roof

We were inspired by the sunset and the folly of our youth

We started slippin' backward, grasping desperately at straw

Crying out to Jesus cause a myth was what we saw

Easter morning felt so holy, God I swear I’d made it through

At the sound of a cracked bell, oh the hand I brushed was you

Ashes in the garden, growing hops and holly-hocks

Answers in the roses, and the aspen leaves that dropped

There was a fire, again, in a dream I had last night

You were beside me and your eyes were shining bright

Woke up in a cold sweat

I was searching for first light

We had been rubbing sticks together

Goddamn did they ignite

There was a fire, cross the fairway from our home

The bastard was a liar, he had started it alone
