Fire Warning

Night, closing down

The people leave and they make no sound

Dreams fade then sink through

Last night I dreamt I swam through you

Wanna die in patent leather shoes

A green hat, a doubtful bruise

Last night I dreamt you were a girl called Joan

I crossed my arms then you were gone

And everyday’s like a crashing shoreline

You say, the fire warning, watch it drift away

The feeling’s gone, had it ever come?

Yeah you say, the fire warning, watch it drift away

You watch it drift away

The fire warning, watch it drift away

You watch it drift away, the fire warning

Years ago, I saw

A boy in shorts with eyes like walls

These days, I just sigh

Try to live whilst you pray to die

Lines run fast then turn so slow

My face is leaves, I let them blow

Those moving lines wrap 'round my face

Suck me down, pull me through

Without a trace

And you say

And everyday’s like a crashing shoreline

You say, the fire warning, watch it drift away

The feeling’s gone, had it ever come?

Yeah you say, the fire warning, watch it drift away

You watch it drift away

The fire warning, watch it drift away

You watch it drift away, the fire warning

Your mother says you should have gone with the boy next door

‘Cause greasy paws will always leave marks on the floors

I think about you, do you think about me too?

I think about your touch and how you make me feel so new

And I know I take up space

And I know I take up space

And I know I take up space

And I know I take up space

And I’m really sorry

And I’m really sorry

And I’m really sorry
