Verse 1
Scraping rusty chrome down the empty lane (the lane)
Cracked spark plug spitting in the rain (the rain)
Ripped black denim smelling like kerosene
Never wanted quiet, never wanted clean
Watch the flash jump teeth-first in the dark
Catching on the curb, kicking off a spark (a spark)
Pre-Chorus
Cinders on the wire painting up the sky
Wind hits the alley, watch the temper rise
Everything you built was just timber for the pyre (the pyre)
Chorus
Wildfire crawling down the avenue (the avenue)
Feeding on the scrap that we dragged on through (on through)
Let the clean town run when the smoke gets thick
Wildfire catching on a concrete brick (brick)
Verse 2
Tire tracks scorching on the bypass ramp
Soot on my knuckles and the sweat still damp (still damp)
No pretty paint, just the primer and rust
Sirens in the distance eating up our dust
Steel toe stomping out a blistered beat
Hot red shadows running down the street (the street)
Pre-Chorus
Cinders on the wire painting up the sky
Wind hits the alley, watch the temper rise
Everything you built was just timber for the pyre (the pyre)
Chorus
Wildfire crawling down the avenue (the avenue)
Feeding on the scrap that we dragged on through (on through)
Let the clean town run when the smoke gets thick
Wildfire catching on a concrete brick (brick)
Bridge
They want a spark they can lock in a cage (a cage)
Wipe off the soot, turn a quiet page
We don't burn out, we just feed the heat (the heat)
Chorus
Wildfire crawling down the avenue (the avenue)
Feeding on the scrap that we dragged on through (on through)
Let the clean town run when the smoke gets thick
Wildfire catching on a concrete brick (brick)
