about

This song was originally written by Failure and released in 1994 on the album, "Magnified". It was re-recorded by The Feverfew in 2005 for a Failure tribute album that was to be released on a now-defunct record label.

lyrics

Blowing fire through the hillside
Pelting wings stuck to quicklime
Smashing nobody's headlights
Nothing tells us we're alive

Bernie's got the way to feel good times
She lives on the way to the park
All we've got to do is just drop by
We don't have to wait until dark

Screaming tires through the sunshine
Told the cripple he looks blind
Caught the rats in the manhole
Beat them all the way back home
