Secret Fires Lyrics - The Las Vegas Story - The Gun Club

Touch me through your screen door 

I want to remember you 

They that seek me are behind me 

against the moon 

Recall how we used to ride 

juiced underneath the power lines 

in the inferno valley 

when your daddy was still alive 

I worked with dirt in my eyes 

old blood upon my wound 

dreaming aloud 

of seeing you soon 

I came home from day at the mill 

I came home and cared for you 

the year that we lived 

in secret fire 

I took my razor blade 

I layed old Rubeun in the shade 

and I heard the radio moan 

I took my place in the hills 

jagged with secret fires 

I called you through the valley 

down along the wires 

with dust upon the sands 

came the first day of the year 

I saw a house where no one lived, 

on the black land and under the red sky 

you washed my hair and skin 

against the firelight 

so, touch me through your screen door 

I want to remember you 

we struggled 

the year we lived in secret fire
