Too Close to the Fire Songtext
von Eric Gales

When I′m holdin' my guitar
You make me feel like a star
And I love each and every one of you
You would understand
If you were in my shoes
You′d be scared and angry too

Would you be friends with me?
Would you be scared of me
If you saw me on the street?
Would you even care about me?
Give a shit about me?
Would you even notice me?

When I'm walkin' down the street
The heat′s on me
The flame gets higher
I′m too close to the fire
Hey-hey-hey
(Too close to the fire)
Ooh-ooh-ooh


Are you okay with being quiet?
You say it all with your silence
'Cause it′s not happening to you
When you're the one they blame
And your pictures in the frame
You′re faced with the cold hard truth

When I'm walkin′ down the street
The heat's on me
The flame gets higher
I'm too close to the fire
I′m too close
(Too close to the fire) too close to the fire
I′m too close, I'm too close
(Too close to the fire) too close
I′m too close to the fire
Hmm

Should we burn it all down?
Let it fall to the ground
I've got the devil at my door
Like Mississippi in ′64


The flame gets higher
I'm too close to the fire
I′m too close
I'm too close (to the fire)
Too close to the fire
Hey, hey (too close to the fire)
Too close to the fire
I'm too close to the fire (too close to the fire)

Look out

(Too close to the fire)

(Too close to the fire)
