I built the city of Chicago in only seven nights I couldn't find the strength to tear it down So I set the El on fire And it passed the flame around I saw a man above the rising haze Eyes on destinations that were looking just like graves I couldn't find the strength to pull him out So we circled 'round each other And measured all our doubts The Great Chicago Fire Was started in my head When I grew tired The Great Chicago -- I took a pen a drew the straightest line From his name to little Asia, they mistook it for mine He never caught it, but he took his throne He spoke in smoke signs veiling orders My actions were my own The Great Chicago Fire Was started by my hand The flames grew higher The Great Chicago I waved the guilty cloth just like a flag Soaked in kerosene reflections That cursed connection rag And I torched the city of Chicago 'Cause I never got it right Who builds a city out of goddamn wood? I have leveled it in three days And I'm starting something good The Great Chicago Fire Was started in my head When I grew tired The Great Chicago Fire Was started by my hand The flames grew higher The Great Chicago --

I can't settle Everyone I know trades common sense for seeds to sow I got this kettle It heats up pretty slow But I don't mind it's what I know It's lame to walk without a heart string Clink my tin cans I'm a tin man So tell me what's the plan I'll write it on my hand And I'll come Bring my drum But don't bring him along He sings a settled song I won't settle Everyone I know keeps throwing rocks in rochambo I got this kettle It heats up pretty slow But I don't mind it's what I know You soaked up sunshine, to save for dark days Now you're cloudy, stuck on the same old phrase. I'm above the weather, man Pass me a clinky can And we'll cheers, to all these years We kept our dirty ears, and never said "my dears" I roll my eyes When down they settle Oh, I'm lyin' Cos I wish I could too, I'm more green than blue Explode and find the pebbles Oh, I'm tryin' to find the right hue, and do something new I won't settle Everyone I know trades common sense for seeds to sow I got this kettle It heats up pretty slow But I don't mind it's what I know
