On Fire
My opinion could change today, but Im responsible anyway
For second or third hand information
That complicates the complication
And I dont think before I speak
And I dont know how far my words reach
So wrong nearly every time, that Im sorry I speak my mind
If what I said was unkind
Now it feels like Im on fire
Its burning the world through
But dont hold it against me, cuz I know youre lying, too
Is there any need for apology? Theres no reason to believe me
Judgments born in my jealous mind, creeping inside outside
Connections Ive made never follow through
And sooner or later disappoint you
Or cross you twice when your back is turned, thats how Ive learned
That someone has got to be burned
Now it feels like Im on fire, these words are not the truth
But dont hold it against me, cuz I know youre lying, too
Feels like Im on fire, its burning the world through
Dont let me fall without someone to hold on to

Fight Test
I thought I was smart - I thought I was right
I thought it better not to fight - I thought there was a
Virtue in always being cool - so when it came time to
Fight I thought I'll just step aside and that time would
Prove you wrong and that you would be the fool -
I don't know where the sun beams end and the star
Light begins it's all a mystery
Oh to fight is to defend if it's not
Now than tell me when would be the time that you would stand up
And be a man - for to lose I could accept but to surrender
I just wet and regretted this moment - oh that I - I
Was the fool
I don't know where the sun beams end and the star
Light begins it's all a mystery
And I don't know how a man decides what right for his
Own life - it's all a mystery
Cause I'm a man not a boy and there are things
You can't avoid you have to face them when you're not prepared
To face them -
If I could I would but you're with him now it'd do no good

Thank You Jack White (For The Fiber-Optic Jesus That You Gave Me)
Spoken- Let me tell ya a story about a very special gift I received from a, from a man that I didn't know very well. But he brightened up the night and made it one of the great shining moments of our long tour.
Goes like this-
Backstage in Detroit
And the room is full of smoke and apprehension
We'd been playing shows
As the warm-up and the band for Beck Hanson
In walks Jack, says - "How'd ya do?" (Oh yeah)
Then he handed me this wonderful statue.
And I said, "Thank you Jack White
For the fiber-optic Jesus that you gave me."
It shined so bright
That I couldn't help believin' it would save me.
When I finally got it home
My whole neighborhood was aglow
And I said, "Thank you Jack White
For the fiber-optic Jesus that you gave me."
(Here comes the pick)
(Oh Yeah)
Jack and Meg are funny
They got a modern backwards-liberal family code
