burn left me out a hound ungroomed with one nigh moon i was consumed i howled to it oh i was loud in drinking rooms and dim saloons when i found you i found you wounded but you wore your heart like a lady and i lit your smokes like a man burn gathered round when eyes adjusted in fire we trusted tending to a bed of kindle i stoked it on and on when dry wind roused our hearts unready it painted red with orange hands and a brush more hot than what we want all around we just danced so drunk upon the lawn and you danced the steps of a lady and i tried to lead like a man the bells only ring in emergency there s hazard in heat to discern in a controlled burn when we were found our molars made the sorry case where goes our boy where goes our girl our fathers cried i never heard and the bells only ring in emergency there s hazard in heat to discern it warms and it dances it speaks out of turn and it runs controlled burn
