Viewing Lyrics for The Fire Inside:
| | | Artist: | Bob Seger |
| | Album: | Greatest Hits | | Track: | The Fire Inside | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 63 | | | | Lyrics: | 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 lights
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 | | | |
