Perfect for karaoke:
There's the moon asking to stay
Long enough for the clouds to fly me away
Oh, it's my time coming, I'm not afraid, afraid to die
My fading voice sings of love
But she cries to the clicking of time
Wait in the fire
Wait in the fire
Wait in the fire
Wait in the fire
The Fire
And she weeps on my arm
Walking to the bright lights in sorrow
Oh, drink a bit of wine we both might go tomorrow
Oh, my love
And the rain is falling and I believe
My time has come
It reminds me of the pain I might leave
Leave behind
Wait in the fire
Wait in the fire
Wait in the fire
Wait in the fire
The Fire
Oh
Ooh, ooh, ah
And I feel them drown my name
So easy to know
And forget with this kiss
I'm not afraid to go but it goes so slow
Wait in the fire
Wait in the fire, wait in the fire
Wait in the fire
Wai-wai-wait 
Wait in the fire, wait in the fire
Wait
(Jeff Buckley / Gary Lucas)

EXIT, PURSUED BY A BEAR

Shook, shaken and stirred
By the Holy Word
Where's the fire next time
There'll be a bed of quick lime

So Exit, Pursued by a Bear
The wind and the wellies
The stars in your hair
No Exit, Pursued by a Bear
A pink hostess twinkie
So that they know that you care

That craven jackanapes
The foul fiend doth come around
Bringing off the youngest ones
While bringing everybody else down
At tendaroni junction
You can hear him make that sound
A low slung greasy whistle
Wrestles you right to the ground

"Where's my drink?" Shouts Plutarch
Retiring for the night
"I can't think straight no more
There's too much for my sight
The lives of saints and sinners
The poisoned dagger serpent's bite
The plucking touching hand
Of man and woman born of light"


So Exit, Pursued by a Bear
The wind and the wellies
The stars in your hair
No Exit, Pursued by a Bear
A pink hostess twinkie
So that they know that you care

--Gary Lucas

"Exit, Pursued By A Bear"--Gary Lucas & Gods and Monsters w/ Dina Emerson
