Bonfire Lyrics

BONFIRE

Cleaned out my closets, cupboards and drawers

Cleared the air, opened my windows and doors

Scrapped the scrapbooks, frames that I’d filled

Skeletons of all the times I misspent or killed

Built a pyramid in the front yard

Soaked it down with gasoline

Live and learn, fast and hard

Let it burn, hot and clean

It’s all good, it’s all gone, it’s just fuel for a bonfire

Lighten up, moving on, rising out of a bonfire

We all have our stories to own and confess

Naked truths, no excuse, undressed

We paint our pictures and play our parts

And the show must go on, that’s the state of the art

Author! Author! turn the page

Get a fresh canvas for the artiste

Got to clear the set to reset the stage

Got to let the past rest in peace

It’s all good, it’s all gone, it’s just fuel for a bonfire

Lighten up, moving on, rising out of a bonfire

Get it out, pile it on, dance around, ‘round your bonfire

Rising, flying high above

The flames die down to an ember

Down to the lessons and the love

Like a pilot light left burning to remember

Get it out, pile it on, dance around, ‘round a bonfire

Lighten up, moving on, rising out of a bonfire

It’s all good, it’s all gone, it’s just fuel for a bonfire
