lyrics

Going Down In Flames
(C)Kevin Fisher

I remember the days when we were younger
Full of fire and faith and hunger
And passion shot through our veins
Just like a bullet through a gun
We would chase away the midnight hours
Bathe in sun and summer showers
And keep all heaven’s angels on alert and on the run

Did the fire die? No, it’s still burning
Did the heart grow dim? No, it’s still yearning
For a place out in the sun and wind and rain
Did the vision blur? No, it’s twenty twenty
Did the hope run thin? No, it’s thick as honey
We may crash and burn but we’ll be going down in flames

They say that time can make the dreamer settle
And cool the flame beneath the kettle
That once would throw its head back
Blowing steam out at the sky
But you and me make the desert bloom
The oceans rage and the forest loom
And every day that life kisses us
Our spirits start to fly

Did the fire die? No, it’s still burning
Did the heart grow dim? No, it’s still yearning
For a place out in the sun and wind and rain
Did the vision blur? No, it’s twenty twenty
Did the hope run thin? No, it’s thick as honey
We may crash and burn but we’ll be going down in flames

They said that if you shoot for the sky but hit the ceiling well, it’s good enough for you
That doesn’t line up with how I’m feeling and I don’t believe that it’s true
I say if you shoot for the sky, hit the sky, if you shoot for the moon, hit the moon
If you shoot for the stars, hit the stars
And maybe you’ll make it one day or at least you’ll be able to say

Did the fire die? No, it’s still burning
Did the heart grow dim? No, it’s still yearning
For a place out in the sun and wind and rain
Did the vision blur? No, it’s twenty twenty
Did the hope run thin? No, it’s thick as honey
We may crash and burn but we’ll be going down in flames

Naked To The World Los Angeles, California

We tried to break up. But there must be some quantum time-shift or random wormhole that forces us to slide back into perpetual existence. We started in 1993, garnered some accolades, released 5 CDs, toured the U.S., had our songs cut by major artists, and garnered a bit of commercial airplay ourselves. We are grateful for everyone who has ever come to one of our shows and enjoyed our music. ... more
