Fire On McNaughton Street

Fire On McNaughton Street

Words and music by Joe Dickinson

There’s a fire down the road somewhere

I can see the smoke rising in the air

Trucks are rushing, racing past

Everything moving slow but it’s much too fast

I’m walking down the street, I’m taking in the sights

Thinking about what I’m gonna do tonight

Anything but be alone

Heartbroken down to the bone

There’s a fire down the road and it’s being put down

Some people go by other people gather round

Far too many cars trying to get to where they go

If I die tomorrow will anybody know?

Trying to get the time but my watch don’t work

I’m thinking about every single time I’ve been hurt

I miss you, want to kiss you, but you’re just out of reach

Everything you want to learn I will teach

There’s a fire down on McNaughton Street

I’m feeling hungry gonna grab a bite to eat

Everything is precious and I know it’s true

What matters to me might not matter to you
