No Fire Ban Jam

Tekst utworu

[Verse 1] The grass is crunchy toast The wind keeps gossiping Old Ned hid his grill Behind three trash can lids My ice chest won’t hold But my aunt still brought kabobs We all just nod real slow At the sky like it owes us [Pre-Chorus] County said “not today” Red flag on the pole Even my lighter got A tiny guilty face [Chorus] No fire, no fire, no fire tonight Keep your sparks tucked in tight No fire, no fire, no fire tonight We can roast marshmallows in our minds No fire, no fire, no fire tonight Put the matchbook out of sight No fire, no fire, no fire tonight We still got beans and a good cold Sprite [Verse 2] The sparrows judge us hard From the fence by the shed Kids ask “what’s a campfire?” While I point at the memes Uncle Ray said “I’m careful” With a shovel and a prayer Then he sneezed by the pit And we all flinched in choir [Pre-Chorus] County said “not today” Use a pan, use a sink Even your dramatic vibe Could use a little rethink [Chorus] No fire, no fire, no fire tonight Keep your sparks tucked in tight No fire, no fire, no fire tonight We can roast marshmallows in our minds No fire, no fire, no fire tonight Put the matchbook out of sight No fire, no fire, no fire tonight We still got beans and a good cold Sprite [Bridge] [Half-time, whispered then rising] We miss the smoke-ring stories We miss the ember glow But I’d rather miss the drama Than watch the whole field go So pass the chips, pass the jokes Pass the bug spray too If the universe wants a blaze It can wait until it cools [Final Chorus] No fire, no fire, no fire tonight Keep your sparks tucked in tight No fire, no fire, no fire tonight We can roast marshmallows in our minds No fire, no fire, no fire tonight Put the matchbook out of sight No fire, no fire, no fire tonight We still got beans and a good cold Sprite
