Abdoujaparov – Fire Tender Red

I made those fucking grown-ups notice me

I didn`t think a tiny fire would grow that big

I didn`t know the smoke and fumes would make me sick

Beautiful flames, sulphur and heat

Carefully fanned

Fire-engine siren

Fire tender red

I knew they kept some petrol in the shed

I threw her precious photos on the bed

I found a box of matches in a drawer

And I wedged his favourite chair against the door

Beautiful flames, sulphur and heat

Carefully fanned

Fire-engine siren

Fire tender red

I failed to reach the phone in time

In time to dial 999

I woke up in a hospital

Bandage on my head

Mum and Dad are dead

Fire tender red
