Firetrap Lyrics - Walkabouts

Come back in the winter, won't steal away too long 

And when I'm back I'll set it all ablaze 

Got Jesus in my pocket and matches in my coat 

I won't have to work alone this time 

From the trees upon the hill top, I'll watch the old house close 

You can guard your back but my patience will be endless 

And all your stiff jaw quiet, won't conceal what you have done 

You warned us all to sell or pay the price 

Now I wanna burn, I wanna burn 

Not only you can burn 

The newspaper and TV fools came trudging 'cross our fields 

Said the shots that killed my brother came from his own hand 

But that don't explain the tyre tracks that came down from your house 

To make it look like suicide had been your plan 

Now I wanna burn, I wanna burn 

Not only you can burn 

I wanna burn this signal fire, I wanna burn this firetrap 

Not only you can burn 

And it belongs to me now 

Right or wrong 

I'll come back in the winter on a trail of no remorse 

My footprints will get covered by the frozen snow 

And no one in your family will talk of me again 

Flames will die, a silence will return 

Now I wanna burn, I wanna burn 

Not only you can burn 

I wanna burn this signal fire, I wanna burn this firetrap 

Not only you can burn 

And it belongs to me now 

Right or wrong 

And it belongs to me now 

Right or wrong
