"Fire Warning" lyrics

Night, closing down
The people leave and they make no sound
Dreams fade then sink through
Last night I dreamt I swam through you
Wanna die in patent leather shoes
A green hat, a doubtful bruise
Last night I dreamt you were a girl called Joan
I crossed my arms then you were gone

And everyday's like a crashing shoreline
You say, the fire warning, watch it drift away
The feeling's gone, had it ever come?
Yeah you say, the fire warning, watch it drift away

You watch it drift away
The fire warning, watch it drift away
You watch it drift away, the fire warning

Years ago, I saw
A boy in shorts with eyes like walls
These days, I just sigh
Try to live whilst you pray to die
Lines run fast then turn so slow
My face is leaves, I let them blow
Those moving lines wrap 'round my face
Suck me down, pull me through
Without a trace

And you say

And everyday's like a crashing shoreline
You say, the fire warning, watch it drift away
The feeling's gone, had it ever come?
Yeah you say, the fire warning, watch it drift away

You watch it drift away
The fire warning, watch it drift away
You watch it drift away, the fire warning

Your mother says you should have gone with the boy next door
'Cause greasy paws will always leave marks on the floors
I think about you, do you think about me too?
I think about your touch and how you make me feel so new

And I know I take up space
And I know I take up space
And I know I take up space
And I know I take up space
And I'm really sorry
And I'm really sorry
And I'm really sorry
