Liz Phair - Firewalker Lyrics

My hopes are like embers
Lying around inside a firebed
And your mind is a firewalker
It steps on them like they are dead but

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 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 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
