Firewalker Lyrics - Liz Phair - Liz Phair

My hopes are like embers 

Lying around inside a fire bed 

And your mind is a firewalker 

It steps on them like they are dead but 

I, I can grow in spite of all you know 

You might not recognize me tomorrow 

Yes I can change in spite of all they say 

Become something strange and beautiful 

Like joy, like joy 

Me, I'm like a wild flame 

That catches on whatever's near but 

Your mind is a firewalker 

It sets its course and never veers but 

I, I can grow in spite of all you know 

You might not recognize me tomorrow 

Yes I can change in spite of all they say 

Become something strange and beautiful 

Like joy, like joy 

Take offers from every side 

And give my attentions about anywhere well 

Do I recognize my actions? 

I look like I'm so unaware like I don't care 

But I, I can grow in spite of all you know 

You might not recognize me tomorrow 

Yes I can change in spite of all they say 

Become something strange and beautiful 

Like joy, like joy
