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 
it's 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
