Lyrics The Lemon Twigs

The Lemon Twigs

The Fire

One day in spring, it was gym class

That was the only class Shane passed

He was scaling the rope

Some cool kid cracked a joke

Oh man, he was mad, it was like his ears smoked

And I saw Shane, and everyone was pushing him

And you could really feel his pain

And then before you knew it

All of a sudden there were these flames

A fire started in the school

That took a hundred lives away

Life is real tough when your parents

Don't want you

Life can be tough when your girlfriend

Don't want you

Daisy was his last hope

But she thought Shane a big joke

"Well we'll see who's the big joke when

That school goes up in smoke!"

And I saw Shane, and everyone was pushing him

And you could really feel his pain

And it was right then

You started to see these, like, flames

A fire started in the school

That took a hundred lives away

And oh whoa when he struck the match

To make the big payback he said

"Shananananananana"

He thought, "We're all so wrong"

And he cried alone and he went

"Shananananananana"

And the girl and the kids

And all that his parents did, he said

"Shananananananana"

Ooh he thought, "We're all so wrong"

And with this he'd finally have won and baby now

"Shananananananana" Oh no no

But it increased the pain, poor poor Shane

"Shananananananana"

Poor poor Shane, poor poor Shane

"Shananananananana"

But it increased the pain, poor poor Shane

"Shananananananana"

And he ran and he and he ran

And he ran and he ran

And he ran

He increased their pain

"Shananananananana"

And the kids and all that his family did

Just to increase the pain

And then he ran away

Life is can be tough when you're

Life, life is so tough when no one wants you

Life is real tough when just about no one at all wants you
