Fire Escape

(Uh-oh, uh-oh-oh-oh)

(Uh-oh, uh-oh-oh-oh)

I met up with an acrobat

In Brooklyn or some place like that

With life and taxis flying past

We tore that dance hall down

(Uh-oh, uh-oh-oh-oh)

(Uh-oh, uh-oh-oh-oh)

Pocket change and subway cars

Our big ideas filled empty bars

We might be from the moon or Mars

Either way I'm never going home

(Uh-oh, uh-oh-oh-oh)

(Uh-oh, uh-oh-oh-oh)

So, let's hang an anchor from the sun

There's a million city lights but you're number one

You're the reason I'm still up at dawn

Just to see your face we'll be going strong

With the vampires, baby

We belong, we belong awake

Swinging from the fire escape

(Uh-oh, uh-oh-oh-oh)

I was drinking from the wishing well

Some junkie metal-head hotel

When we boarded the carousel

The roof was caving in

(Uh-oh, uh-oh-oh-oh)

(Uh-oh, uh-oh-oh-oh)

And on this stage, my ox-blood friend

Was singing songs about the end

The bankers in the lion's den

Were dropping lines like beggars in the snow

(Uh-oh, uh-oh-oh-oh)

(Uh-oh, uh-oh-oh-oh)

So let's hang an anchor from the sun

There's a million city lights but you're number one

You're the reason I'm still up at dawn

Just to see your face we'll be going strong

With the vampires, baby

We belong, we belong awake

Swinging from the fire escape

(Uh-oh, uh-oh-oh-oh)

Swinging from the fire escape

(Uh-oh, uh-oh-oh-oh)

Swinging from the fire escape

Walking home, your hand in mine

Tattoos on the river line

The morning birds are taking flight

Either way, I thought that you should know

You're my number one

You're the reason I'm still up at dawn

Just to see your face, we'll be going strong

With the vampires, baby

We belong, we belong awake

You're my number one

You're the reason I'm still up at dawn

Just to see your face, we'll be going strong

With the vampires, baby

We belong, we belong awake

Swinging from the fire escape

(Uh-oh, uh-oh-oh-oh)

Swinging from the fire escape

(Uh-oh, uh-oh-oh-oh)

Swinging from the fire escape

(Uh-oh, uh-oh-oh-oh)

Swinging from the fire escape

(Uh-oh, uh-oh-oh-oh)
