Grateful Dead - Fire On The Mountain (Studio Version) video free download

Nicholas Aiken

To me the poetic meaning is Be careful what you wish for, you might want influence and power, but you're like a dragon with matches who burns the whole town and stage because you didn't know what you were doing really in the first place. Reminds me mostly of myself, being a leader means taking the heat from your own trail blazing sometimes. 

Nicholas Aiken

Long distance runner, what you standin' there for?Get up, get out, get out of the doorYour playin' cold music on the barroom floorDrowned in your laughter and dead to the core.There's a dragon with matches that's loose on the townTakes a whole pail of water just to cool him down.Fire! Fire on the mountain!Almost ablaze still you don't feel the heatIt takes all you got just to stay on the beat.You say it's a livin', we all gotta eatBut you're here alone, there's no one to compete.If Mercy's a bus'ness, I wish it for youMore than just ashes when your dreams come true.Fire! Fire on the mountain!Long distance runner, what you holdin' out for?Caught in slow motion in a dash for the door.The flame from your stage has now spread to the floorYou gave all you had. Why you wanna give more?The more that you give, the more it will takeTo the thin line beyond which you really can't fake.Fire! Fire on the mountain!

Heard this song at my first festival years and years ago. This song is the theme to that life changing experience. Still my favorite GD song.

Went to see this grateful dead cover band play in a hippie-type town, and they paid great homage by playing this song and highly extending the solo. Epicness
