Bradford Cox - Fireman Lyrics



Bradford Cox - Fireman Lyrics




[ Featuring Cate Le Bon ]

In background: ""Well I've been putting out fires for about twenty-five years in this county and the first thing I learned was the secret about containing a fire, trying to minimize the spread of, y'know, the air streams in the house a lot of people have lost their lives because they don't have this information. I do recall on particular fire that is very formative for me in my career. It was Christmas Eve, I believe it was 1985 or 86, I was called to a fire on the east side of the city and it was very cold, rainy, sleeting sort of Christmas eve weather and the fire spread very fast, I believe it was started by a Christmas tree which had ignited and the family unfortunately did not make it and it was very difficult to see that kind of loss on that human scale on a Christmas eve knowing those children wouldn't be opening their presents. Among the wreckage I discovered something that I'll never forget, a small, dirty puppy ... from our firefighting I took him home""

I am a fireman
Putting out fire, man
I am a fireman
Putting out fire, man

Fire in the city
Fire in the house
Fire in the furniture
Fire in the atmosphere
Fire on the pavement
Fire in the hole
Fire in the kitchen
Fire in the candle shop

I am a fireman
Putting out fire, man
I am a fireman
Putting out fire, man

Fire in the window
Fire in the mouth
Fire in the patio
Fire in the house
Fire in the country
Fire in the north
Fire in the hospital
Fire in my mind

I am a fireman
Putting out fire, man
I am a fireman
Putting out fire, man

I am a fireman
Putting out fire, man
I am a fireman
Putting out fire, man
