Pete Townshend - After The Fire Lyrics
After the fire the fire still burns, the heart grows older but never ever learns. The memories smolder and the soul always yearns, After the fire the fire still burns. I heard a voice asking what happens after the fire and then the sound of a breaking window and the scream of a tire And then the sound of Brixton gun and the scream of a child. The night is hot But nothing's going to stop This gang running wild. After the fire the fire still burns, The heart grows older but never ever learns. The memories smolder and the soul always yearns, After the fire the fire still burns. I saw Matt Dillon in black and white there ain't no color in memories. He rode his brother's Harley across the TV while I was laughing at Dom DeLuise. Now I'm cycling all my video tapes, I'm crying and I'm joking. I've gotta stop drinking, I've gotta stop thinking, I've gotta stop smoking. After the fire the fire still burns, the heart grows older but never ever learns. The memories smolder and the soul always yearns, after the fire The fire still burns, raging through the pain, blackening the promises, the tears and the rain. The fire will burn 'til the wind begins to turn and it all begins again. After the fireeeee ...Yea the fire still burns After the fire the fire still burns, The heart grows older but never ever learns. The memories smolder and the soul always yearns, after the fire the fire still burns, the fire still burns, After the fire the fire still burns, the heart grows older but never ever learns. The memories smolder and the soul always yearns, after the fire the fire still burns.
