Give Me Fire

You say the earth is round But I don't fall off No matter how long I travel around I don't see Europe by looking up Nor get there by climbing down a rope Don't give me honey Give me fire Don't give me chicken Change, it's too cheap And don't ask me for some change I have none in my pockets None even within the closest distance You say no man is an island You are not an island You are worse You are an evil forest Rather than the genesis of beautiful revelation You are the chronicles of many lamentations Please keep your honey Just give me fire You look at me All you see is a sealed open mouth But that's because you've been looking down Look up and you'll see the hero I can become Look straight and you'll see a reflection of yourself Don't give me honey Give me fire I am gold.
