Fire Under My Skin (버전 2)

Verse 1

Seven summers on the asphalt

Grandma's porch light flickering

City leaning on the window

Asking what I'm figuring

She said, "Mijo, they are dust

We were born a different kind"

Then she left me with a key

And an empty house behind

Hey, city, I can hear you

Every siren calls my name

You been keeping score of losses

I been keeping up the flame

You kicked the door off its hinges

Cracked the walls she painted red

Thought you blew my candle out

You only taught it how to spread

Pre-Chorus

No more tears, shake off the dust

Lace up these boots

Last of the Sombra standing

Holding up the roots

Chorus

Fire under my skin

Can't nobody turn me back

Grandma struck the spark

Lit up every crack

Fire under my skin

Verse 2

Brother working doubles up north

Voice is cracking on the line

Says, "Fear's a quiet landlord, kid

It wants the rent on time"

Twenty thousand miles of highway

Five years on a borrowed bed

Money calling like an ex

"Come back, baby, you'll be fed"

Hey, money, you can whistle

I don't answer to your tune

I got a lullaby in Spanish

And a kitchen full of moon

You thought hunger made me smaller

Thought the night would close me in

But a fire burns the brightest

When the dark comes rolling in

Chorus

Fire under my skin

Can't nobody turn me back

Grandma struck the spark

Lit up every crack

Fire under my skin

Bridge – low growl

If they tell you kids are fragile

Go and ask her where she sleeps

Under cedar, under candles

With the rosary she keeps

House is rubble, I'm the brick

Blood remembers, I'm the wick

Final Chorus

Fire under my skin

Can't nobody turn me back

Grandma struck the spark

Lit up every crack

Fire under my skin

Outro

Like a candle in the fog

Still burning

Fire under my skin
