Fire It Up - Modest Mouse

Fire it up, fire it up

When we finally turn it over

Make a B-line towards the border

Have a drink, you’ve had enough

Fire it up, fire it up

If you need some conversation

Bring a magazine to read around

Our broke down transportation

Fire it up

Etcetera-nough

Fire it up, fire it up

When we find the perfect water

We’ll hang out on the shore

Just long enough to leave our clothes there

Fine enough, fine enough

Oh we ate all of the oranges

Off the navels of our lovers

Grabbed a book and read the cover

It honestly was beautifully done

Like trying to hide the daylight from the sun

Even if we had been sure enough it’s true we really didn’t know

Even if we knew which way to head but still we probably wouldn’t go

Fire it up, fire it up

We pushed off we’re rolling boulders

Crashing down the mirrored stairways

Two of life’s best mine canaries

Fire it up, fire it up

When we fix the carburetor

Then we’ll push off once again

In an hour or so later

It honestly was beautifully bold

Like trying to save an ice cube from the cold

Even if we had been sure enough it’s true we really didn’t know

Even if we knew which way to head but still we probably wouldn’t go

Well, we always, well, we always

Had it all, had it all

Well, we always, well, we always

Had it all, had it all

Well, we always, well, we always

Had it all
