My heart is always on the line I've travelled all kinds of places The song is always the same Got lonesome fuel for fire Got forty-fives to play at night Got books to spend with every weekend The story's always the same Got lonesome fuel for fire Fuel for fire, a bitter ending Til a sweet, sweet death Fuel for fire, the sour note inside An orchestra wail Fuel for fire, uncomfortable poses Between famous last words Fuel for fire, a missing person In a small, small world I dug beneath the wall of sound I ended up back where I started The song is always the same Got lonesome fuel for fire And so my heart is always on the line I've travelled all kinds of places The story's always the same Got lonesome fuel for fire
