firewalker with me (rolo version)

from TA03.1: DECLASSIFIED by the garages

they say you can't go home again, it's true
especially when your home burns down around you
i lit the match with a flick of the cleat from the league that hexed me
yeah i'll see you in hell cuz it's hell that sent me
as i walk out the door singing "next team, next team"

first you do it for the money
then you do it for the fame
then you do it for your teammates
then you do it for the flame, for the flame 

firewalker with me
if you ever felt alone in the crowd that screams your name
firewalker with me
it's just a game, it's just a game 

nobody deserves to be called a curse
but if you're gonna insist, i'm happy to make it worse
i'll start again with a slate as blank as the stares in the crowd
when i'm the last one standing will you still be proud
as i brush off the ashes screaming "next team, next team"

first you're done in by the money
then you're done in by the fame
then you're done in by your teammates
then you're done in by the flame, by the flame

firewalker with me
if you ever felt alone in the crowd that screams your name
firewalker with me
it's just a game, it's just a game

it's almost over now
i think i know how
this all ends

what's left of the money?
of my friends?
there's a darkness closing in
no more games, no more regrets
oh god, why can't i forget?

firewalker with me
if you ever felt alone in the crowd that screams your name
firewalker with me
when you're tired of the shadows and the shame
firewalker, firewalker with me
if you've ever felt the rush of the fire, of the flame, of the flame
firewalker, firewalker with me
if you've ever felt the brutal chill of charred remains
it's just a game, it's just a game, it's just a game, it's just a game, it's just a game, it's just a game.
