well the stars are in the sky
and the trees are illuminated by the
light
coming off a girl wearing nothing but fire
and she's the most
beautiful thing that I think that I have ever seen
and the stars are in
the sky
and the ice is on the pavement
so the stars are in the ice
and
the sky is on the pavement
to fall is to fly; to fall is to fly
into the
arms of someone you've never thought was safe before
you've never thought was
safe
but you're just going to fall
and you're just going to slide on
this business day
one lifelike place left here
fifteen minutes left till
you run away
well we'll find words are broken
do nothing but touch on this
business day
and you light yourself up dear
the fine feathered flames flay
it all away
and it's about time you knew you were never
fireproof
well the stars are in the sky
and the ice is on the
pavement
so the stars are in the ice
and the sky is on the pavement
to
fall is to fly, to fall is to fly
into the arms of someone you've never
thought was safe before
you've never thought was safe before
and the
burning girl is at it again
no one knows how she does it but the morning
light
shows that she has perfect skin
and not a trace of charcoal, except
in the center of her eyes
where she looks into the lights and tells us all
what we did wrong last night
well the stars...
now it's all broken
up
and your charcoal still shows on this business day
no one heard you
snap
pushing your way past the papers
and you ought to go back
there
nothing suits you more on this business day
memories of nights
fireside
lust for a life of naked flame
and the burning girl has
you
consumes your thoughts almost every day
sweeping ashes under your
clothes
i guess that's just the price that you pay
well the burning girl
has you
consumes your thoughts almost every day
sweeping ashes under your
clothes
i guess that's just the price that you pay
and it's about time
you knew, yeah it's about time you knew
it's about time you knew
you
were never fireproof
burning girl
