Flashy Firehorse - Cafe Jazz Deluxe

It began to rain The moment we took shelter And the western sun Was fighting for the sky Our bodies weren't big enough Our bodies weren't big enough For all the hope that we had Our hearts were on fire Our hearts were on fire There was nothing in my head No history No waiting, no memory, no fate There was only one moment Only one moment That we'd ever known Our hearts were on fire And all we had was hope Our hearts were on fire And it burned in our bones Had the whole world gone mad We had no memory of what had been said Be gentle with us Be gentle with us And we'll find our way in the end Our hearts are on fire And hope is all we know Our hearts are on fire And it burns in our bones Our hearts are on fire And it burns in our bones

The rats are playing outside I hear them multiplying And while the great divide, is only growing wide There's a silence in the middle I'm in love, i'm in love, i'm in love I remember her singing I'm in love, i'm in love, i'm in love I remember thinking If you can give in a little If you can give in a little There's a silence in the middle If you can give in a little And we'll find a quiet place Cant you hear the sea change And the ship is rocking hard To capsize the darkest hearts We are the anchor and we are the wave I'm in love, i'm in love, i'm in love I remember her singing I'm in love, i'm in love, i'm in love I remember thinking If you can give in a little If you can give in a little There's a silence in the middle If you can give in a little If you can give in a little If you can give in a little I am unwise but i can learn I remember thinking I'm in love, i'm in love The whole world was singing We are love, we are love, we are love Our bodies were ringing We are unwise but we can change Here comes the wave If you can give in a little If you can give in a little We are unwise, we are unwise But we can learn We are unwise, we are unwise But we can learn There's a silence in the middle If you can give in a little We are unwise, we are unwise But we can learn There's a silence in the middle If you can give in a litte We are unwise, we are unwise But we can learn

It finds the veins The stretch of road from your heart To your brain It finds the veins Feeding sunlight down the back of your legs You're rooted now What have you become Only the birds know what you've done You're rooted now You're rooted now Your twisted fingers breathe From your nails grow the leaves But not of green What have you become Only the birds know what you've done You're rooted now You're rooted now So throw your head back and Open your mouth Your thickened spine comes rushing out Choke as it grows You won't miss breathing Your lungs mean nothing now Your heart is a useless knot The sun has forgotten All for the birds All for the birds Only the birds know what you've done They feed your secrets to their young

Step outside Dodge the muggers and the stabbers like land mines The critics' eyes The dive-bombing drunks, they've been drinking themselves blind They're all illusions made of sand We will fear no man Not even the machete gangs You want to feel bad but you won't We're not sorry We want to feel bad but we don't We're not sorry We're not sorry We're on our way Up up up and away Up up up and away The terminals and preachers The gunslingers and leeches Kamikaze feral cats, psychos wielding baseball bats They're all illusions made of sand We will fear no man Not even the machete gangs Up up up and away Up up up and away Up up up and away Up up up and away You want to feel bad but you won't We're not sorry We want to feel bad but we don't We're not sorry We're not sorry We're on our way Up up up and away Up up up and away Pp up up and away Into the atmosphere Far away from human fear Up up up and away
