Hold, Hold, Fire Lyrics

In the city, when the sun's gone
Headlines say the enemy is near
But how long must we wait
Before we are running in quick sand?
So make your money and shed your skin
When there's nothing left, you leave again
Hide yourself in the dead of night
Catch your man

Hold your fire, don't take too long
Hold your fire, don't take too long
It's done and all just don't take too long

In the daylight they're watching
Waiting for another chance to come
The silence watched over
I'll panic and leave nothing else to burn

We're gonna make your money and shed your skin
When there's nothing left, you leave again
Hide yourself in the dead of night
Catch your man
Hold your fire, don't take too long
Hold your fire, don't take too long
It's done and all just don't take too long

It's done and all just don't take too long
It's done and all, it's done and all

Hold your fire, don't take too long
Hold your fire, don't take too long
It's done and all just don't take too long

Make your money and shed your skin
When there's nothing left, you leave again
Hide yourself in the dead of night
Catch your man
(don't take too long)

Make your money and shed your skin
When there's nothing left, you leave again
Hide yourself in the dead of night
Catch your man

(Hold your fire)
It's done and all just don't take too long
(Hold your fire)
It's done and all, just don't take too long
(Hold your fire)
It's done and all, it's done and all
(Hold your fire)
It's done and all just don't take too long
