Just like the man who rides the river
Down to the burning sea
And he's not getting any older
Not like you or me
He's been around since time eternal
Helped Nero light the fires in Rome
Ghengis Khan was in his pocket
Light the fires upon your home
Call him a helper, watch him grin
Call him what you like
Lock your heart, don't let him in
So if you feel it's getting colder
He'll chill you to the spine
Then before you get much older
He'll do the same to mine
Call him a helper, watch him grin
Call him what you like
Lock your heart, don't let him in
He's immortal
So please don't ask me what he's here for
'Cause I don't really know
He'll just invite himself a new war
You'll be gone before you know
Call him a helper, watch him grin
Call him what you like
Lock your heart, don't let him in
