Lyrics (If You Want the Smoke) Be the Fire - MaidaVale

(If You Want the Smoke) Be the Fire

I met a woman encapsuled by youth
body and soul
White dress but hair as black as coal
She told me of things in the past
of good times and bad
Stories about both sane and mad
If you don’t think of life
as time passing by
I’m sure you will find
what it’s about
Go for the gold, never tire
Make yourself a frequent flyer
And always strive to get higher
If you want the smoke, be the fire
I walked away when she started to cry
left without words
Regret was all that I heard
She though that years are what define our lives
But I believe that we are what we achieve
If you don’t think of life
as time passing by
I’m sure you will find
what it’s about
Go for the gold, never tire
Make yourself a frequent flyer
And always strive to get higher
If you want the smoke, be the fire
Go for the gold, never tire
Make yourself a frequent flyer
And always strive to get higher
If you want the smoke, be the fire
