Fountains Of Wayne

Fire in the canyon lyrics Fountains Of Wayne

 862

Fire in the canyon


There's fire in the canyon
Rain on the plain
And an eerie kind of sadness
On the highway today
Was it driving together
That drove us apart
Or did we change direction
Chasing arrows and hearts

We've been wandering alone such a long time
Lose our way as we go town to town
Believe us to be born into a path straight and narrow
On every crooked road we travel down

And I'm checking out the road signs
Highway hotels
And their air-conditioned cable-ready cold padded cells
And we read them like stories
In trash magazines
We ain't really sure what it means

We've been wandering alone such a long time
Lose our way as we go town to town
Believe us to be born into a path straight and narrow
On every crooked road we travel down

Well I'll ride this motorway
For a thousand miles a day
Til the road runs out of blacktop
Or I will this world away
And each town is steeped in rain
And I know each one by name
Cause this road is wrapped around me
And I wear it like a chain

We've been wandering alone such a long time
Lose our way as we go town to town
Believe us to be born into a path straight and narrow
On every crooked road we travel down
Believe us to be born into a path straight and narrow
On every crooked road we travel down

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 

The lyrics FIRE IN THE CANYON of FOUNTAINS OF WAYNE is also present in the album Traffic and weather (2007)

Biografia

Fountains of Wayne sono una rock band americana formatasi nel 1995 a New York. Il gruppo, composto da Adam Schlesinger (voce, chitarra), Chris Collingwood (chitarra, voce), Jody Porter (basso) e Brian Young (batteria), è noto per il suo sound pop-rock orecchiabile e le liriche spesso ironiche e autoironiche. Il loro successo più grande è stato "Stacey's Mom", singolo del 2003 che ha raggiunto la posizione numero 1 nelle classifiche alternative statunitensi e ha contribuito a far conoscere al pubblico internazionale il gruppo. Tra gli altri brani rappresentativi ricordiamo "Red Tide" (dal loro album di debutto "Ugly Radio") e "Hackensack" (dall'album "Welcome Interstate Managers"). Fountains of Wayne hanno pubblicato sei album in studio, ottenendo un discreto successo commerciale e una solida base di fan. Adam Schlesinger, oltre a essere il frontman del gruppo, ha anche lavorato come compositore per film e televisione, vincendo un Emmy Award nel 2018 per la colonna sonora della serie "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend". Schlesinger è morto nel 2020 a causa di complicazioni dovute al COVID-19.
