WE DIDNT START THE FIRE BY BILLY JOEL Harry Truman, Doris Day, Red China, Johnnie Ray South Pacific, Walter Winchell, Joe DiMaggio Joe McCarthy, Richard

Some love is just a lie of the heart The cold remains of what began with a passionate start And they may not want it to end But it will it's just a question

Baby all the lights are turned on you Now you're in the center of the stage Everything revolves on what you do Ah, you are in your prime; you've come

It's nine o'clock on a Saturday the regular crowd shuffles in There's an old man sitting next to me Makin' love to his tonic and gin He says, Son

You have to learn to pace yourself Pressure You're just like everybody else Pressure You've only had to run so far So good But you will come to

Well, you went uptown riding in your limousine With your fine Park Avenue clothes You had the Dom Perignon in your hand And the spoon up your nose

: We walked on the beach beside that old hotel They're tearing it down now But it's just as well I haven't shown you everything a man can do So stay

: In every heart there is a room A sanctuary safe and strong To heal the wounds from lovers past Until a new one comes along I spoke to you in cautious

: Call me a joker, call me a fool Right at this moment I'm totally cool Clear as a crystal, sharp as a knife I feel like I'm in the prime of my life
