Open Fire Re-enter the scene Who is helping me? His body lying cold The terror I never told Premonitions in a record store A song in my head I've never hummed before Connections coming together slowly The princess meets the great big pea Open fire--I know when your light's gone out Everyone has heard, the word is out And if you could swallow us whole And every cloud I step on is the wrong one I still owe him an "I love you," Will it get through? The only one who could guide her back to shore Not sure who I feared for more We don't die like stars We are never warned We don't notice 'til the sky is less adorned Open fire--I know when your light's gone out Everyone has heard, the word is out And if you could swallow us whole And the question I always to seem to ask Is did I miss my chance? To do all that I could Would he have done what he should Open fire--I know when your light's gone out Everyone has heard, the word is out And if you could swallow us whole Open fire--I know when your light's gone out Everyone has heard, the word is out And if you could swallow us whole (Firemen on one knee Talking the kittens down from the tree I'll get her a glass of water If it helps If it helps) All lyrics and music © Just Plain Sarah 2004
