To Be on Fire

You're churning you're spit You're taking care of it Your burning your entrance You're paying with pensions Do you ever wonder Why you never see green? And do you ever wonder If you'll always be clean? And you wonder why you wonder all the time What if would feel like to be on fire The leaf on your shoulder Is as a nuisance Your body is crumbling Like cherry Fig Newtons And now that you're calloused And you've spent all your blood And you've spent all your money On feeling numb Do you ever wonder Why the sea will be green? You're burning off your hair Just so you can be clean And you wonder why you wonder all the time What if would feel like to be on fire
