One night in a motel room,
Eyes cast like steel.
I drank the wine they left on my table,
I knew the morning was too far.
I smoked my last pack of foreign cigarettes,
I stay only to survive.
The night was dark and the land is cold,
It's frozen right to the bone.
And just like fire would
I burn up,
Just like fire would,
And just like fire would,
I burn up.
500 Miles I have gone today,
Tomorrow it's 500 more.
Outside my window the world passes by,
Its stranger than a dream.
And just like fire would
I burn up,
Just like fire would,
And just like fire would
I burn up.
I go to work and I earn my pay, lord,
And the sweat it falls to the ground.
I see you now but we may never meet again, child,
The ice is hanging on the door.
One night in a motel room,
Eyes cast like steel.
I drank the wine they left on my table,
I knew the morning was too far.
And just like fire would
I burn up,
Just like fire would,
And just like fire would
I burn up.
