"Orange Ball Of Peace" lyrics - THE MOUNTAIN GOATS

[Verse 1: John Darnielle]
They wanted me to be a lawyer
They wanted me to work in a machine shop
They wanted me to be a designer
But I came out on top

[Chorus 2x:]
I'm a fireman

Stand and watch the smoke
See the flames rise to the sky
Stand and watch the flames climb higher
Feel the smoke get in my eyes

[Chorus 2x]
