Ben Rogers - Wildfire

The dawn's almost breaking and I'm stumbling downtown
A gust of of wind upturns my umbrella into a crown
Two dalmatians roll by
Like a gambler's dice
Think I'll take my chances with the inescapable night

Wildfire
Burning to the sea
Wild desire
Taking over me

Now I'm nursing a whiskey and I silently wonder
With a rosary in one hand and worry beads in the other
Am I looking to find whatever
God did not bless me with
Or will they find me dead in a ditch on the road to success?

Wildfire
Burning to the sea
Wild desire
Taking over me

I fall like a sinner at the altar and I vomit in the sink
I wonder, am I really broken or am I just free?
You put blood in my repertoire
And the veil of God's love
But there's no salvation in the heavens above

There's just wildfire
Burning to the sea
Wild desire
Taking over me

So Lord bring your hammer of furious mercy down on me today
I just don't know how much more of your beautiful world I can take
For I have felt pleasure
And insurmountable pain
And the only blessings I count are your numbered days

In this wildfire
Burning to the sea
Wild desire
Taking over me

Wildfire
Wildfire
Wildfire
Wildfire
