Controlled Burn

Burn Left me out, a hound ungroomed with one neigh moon I was consumed, I howled to it Oh I was loud, in drinking rooms and dim saloons When I found you, I found you wounded But you wore your heart like a la-dy And I lit your smokes like a man Burn Gathered round, when eyes adjusted, in fire we trusted Tend to a bed of kindle, I stoked it on and on When dry wind roused our hearts unready, it painted red with orange hands, and a brush more hot than what we want All around we just danced, so drunk upon the lawn And you danced the steps of a la-dy And I tried to lead like a man And the bells only ring in emergencies There's hazard and heat to discern, in a controlled burn When we were found, our molars made the sorry case no lyric "Where goes our boy? Where goes our girl?" Our fathers cried, I ne— ver heard And the bells only ring in emergencies There's hazard and heat to discern, It warms and it dances it speaks out of turn and it runs Controlled burn
