Firewalker - Liz Phair

my hopes are like embers lying
around inside a firebed and
your mind is a firewalker, it steps on
them like they are dead but

i can grow
in spite of all you know
you might not recognize me tomorrow
yes i can change
in spite of all they say
become something strange and beautiful
like joy, like joy

me, i'm like a wild flame that
catches on whatever's near but
your mind is a firewaler, it sets its
course and never veers but

i can grow
in spite of all you know
you might not recognize me tomorrow
yes i can change
in spite of all they say
become something strange and beautiful
like joy, like joy

take offers from every side and give
my attentions about anywhere
do i recognize my actions, i look like
i'm so unaware
like i don't care

but i can grow
in spite of all you know
you might not recognize me tomorrow
yes i can change
in spite of all they say
become something strange and beautiful
like joy, like joy
