Lyrics
RANDOM FIRE
Music & Lyrics by Philip Foxman
ΒΈ
Verse 1
It could have been me but it was you standing outside my front door.
A car passed by machine gun roared I felt a cold breeze cross my face.
I heard a scream then a siren piercing through the night.
I turned the TV on to kill off my imagination.
?
Chorus
Random fire ,
Random fire.
Verse 2
Time passed by I began to feel a certain amount of stress.
I turned to C N N like every good American.
A black man with a funny noise was standing outside the whitehouse wall
He said "statisically we were heading for an almighty fall"
?
Chorus
Verse 3?
I tried to sleep but an unknown fear was stirring up my soul.
At times like these I hold you tight until the dreams set in.
I took some pills and waited for the silence of oblivion.
CNN was still ablaze with AIDS, drugs and homelessness.
?
Verse4
I was cruising on my remote control and the funny blackman was back again.
Standing outside my door reporting on the the lasted drive by score.
They showed a picture of you as the sleeping pill surged through my veins.
I hit the floor and lost control of all my consciousness.
?
Chorus out rap?
It could have been me but it was you standing outside the front door.
It could have been me but it was you standing outside my front door
