lyrics

Sometime in my youth
We must have busted a fuse
The headlights were stripped from the road
The sky cracked and stars they burned cold
And gold coated her hair
Like the flames that licked the sky from the air
And the wine was working real good
Struck a match and she understood
That right here wrapped up where the smoke unfurled
We’d be one

The temperature is high and it’s boiling the sky
Can tell sparks from the lights in your eyes
And now the house is rocking it will soon kiss the ground
We’d better split before the cops come around
When the matches we burned were all gone
You know the fire felt like our first baby son
Kerosene like blood in our vein
Gasoline and the charcoaled remains
Colored lights snapped on like the flash from a gun
When we fuck

The temperature is high and it’s boiling the sky
Can’t tell stars from the lights in your eyes
Now the house is rocking it will soon kiss the ground
We’d better split before the cops come around

Since we’ve both taken to flight
Far away from our orange blossomed night
But as long as I live shan’t forget it
Burning house those burning people burning with it
And right there choking on love and smoke
We were one
