Music from "Life On Wheels"

by Rabbit Rabbit Radio

1.
I touch the earth but never the ground, my footfall makes no sound. Light the flame, light the fire, keys in my hand. Ready to burn it down. I ride fire, ride the flame, move so fast I have no name. Can’t slow me down, wind in my hair. Ready to run, run, run... I touch the earth but never the ground, my footfall makes no sound. Light the flame, light the fire, keys in my hand, Ready to burn, burn, ready to burn it up. I ride fire, ride the flame, move so fast I have no name. Can’t slow me down, wind in my hair. Ready to run, run, run... ready to run til I run out of time. Just below the road a tangle of roots remembers my name. Lights a flame, lights a fire, keys in my hand. Ready to slow it down. I touch the earth, feel the ground, stand so still I make no sound. I hear the wind whisper low, “Get ready to run... You’ve run out of time.”

Ready to run, run, run... ready to run, til I run out of time. The stillness is teeming. Come! Come close and close your eyes, your nerves alive! The silence is seething, Stay! Stay still a while, alive, adjust your eyes. Forget you ever saw me here! Just below the road a tangle of roots remembers my name. Lights a flame, lights a fire, keys in my hand. Ready to slow it down. I touch the earth, feel the ground, stand so still I make no sound. I hear the wind whisper low, “Get ready to run... You’ve run out of time.”
