Fire Escape

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

Pocket change and subway cars

Our big ideas filled empty bars

You might be from the moon or mars

Either way, I'm never going home

So, lets 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

I was drinking from the wishing well

Some junkie metal-head hotel

When we boarded the carousel

The roof was caving in

On the stage my Oxblood friend

Was singing songs about the end

The bankers in the lion's den

Were dropping lines like beggars in the snow

So, lets 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

Swinging from the fire escape

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

[02:24.42]You're number one

[02:26.75]You're the reason I’m still

[02:29.38]Up at dawn

[02:31.17]Just to see your face

[02:33.44]We'll be going strong

[02:35.70]With the vampires, baby

[02:38.44]We belong, we belong awake

Swinging from the fire escape

Swinging from the fire escape

Swinging from the fire escape

Swinging from the fire escape
