Fire Escape

Lyrics

(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh, oh-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

Lyrics continue below...

(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)

Pocket change and subway cars
And our big ideas filled empty bars
We might be from the moon or Mars
Either way, I'm never going home

(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh, oh-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)
(Oh-oh, oh-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

(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)

And on the stage, my ox blood friend
Was singing songs about the end
The bankers in the lion's den
They're dropping lines like beggars in the snow

(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh, oh-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
(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
Swinging from the fire escape
(Oh-oh, oh-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 (woo)

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
(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
Swinging from the fire escape
(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)

Swinging from the fire escape
(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
Swinging from the fire escape
(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
