Fires Under the Road

I live my life as if it was a dream
Of happy times from my memories
It keeps me safe from this city's disease
Sometimes I wonder what got into me
They came to take control and I let them be
I was blinded by the fog but now I can see

My Halloween I'd like you to know
My friends and I go under the road
We build fires to keep us from the cold
And from the snow because the snow is cold

We build fires under the road
To keep us safe from winter's cold
We build fires under the road
To keep us safe from winter's cold
We build fires under the road

Jack would paint the numbers of years on the wall
Now when I see them I can recall
The circle would grow smaller year after year
The faces all grew older and some disappeared
I was blinded by the fog but now everything is clear

Jump the fence and then play games with the dead
Haunted by their sad tales of regret
Shadows of tombstones that dance in the moonlight
Follow the path that leads towards the light
That leads to the fires under the road
To keep us safe from winter's cold

We build fires under the road
To keep us safe from winter's cold
We build fires under the road

Walls all blackened from the smoke
Tunnel of fire lit at the clock's midnight stroke
The wishing hour

Jack would paint the numbers of years on the wall
Now when I see them I can recall
The circle would grow smaller year after year
The faces all grew older and some disappeared
I was blinded by the fog but now everything is clear
