lyrics

Can…can you tell me how to make my fires burn,
Sure, I can tell you how but I just don’t think you’d learn,
Can…can you tell me how to make my fires burn, you say,
Sure darling, I can tell how but I just don’t think that I’ll say,
But what I will say is,

Just a little more of gravity might make you be,
A little more down to earth,
And that’s where you need to be, that’s where you ought to be.

And I see this mighty fortress of a woman,
And yet she is ever so humble,
And I see you, with nothing to add to the uncommon good,
While she stands so tall for the electric womanhood.

And girl, there’s nothing I’d wanna do,
Cause I’m in love with a woman who looks almost just like you,
She comes from some place, up above and beautiful,
And it’s her I love, not you.

Can…can you tell me how to make my fires burn,
Sure, I can tell you how but I just don’t think you’d learn,
Can…can you tell me how to make my fires burn, you say,
Sure darling, I can tell how but I just don’t think that I’ll say.

Just a little more of gravity might make you be,
A little more down to earth,
And that’s where you need to be, that’s where you ought to be.

And I see this castle of knowledge and hope,
And she is the wisdom that always knows,
And I see you pointing fingers that just ain’t fair,
While she sets a course for us all to share.

And girl, I’ve felt too many of your dreams,
All wrapped up in so many scenes of a life that just can’t be,
But she comes from that place, just up above and beautiful,
So there just can’t ever be, a you and me.
