I think my heart was designed to fade and lose color

To turn inside out and wash in the rain

It loses all perfection in cold water
So the desired look is obtained


And it rises higher and higher
Like this filthy heat above the city sky


And I feel like I'm going mad dancing in the fire

As if I'm only here to prove there are mountains I could move


So love is spent dancing in the fire


Too high the cost and too quick the pain
And all that's left for the outsider
Is ashes from dancing in the fire



I think my eyes were made for deception

Interpreting lovers will call what we want the truth

With all I have seen burning behind these mirrors


The reflection they see is all that I pursue


And it rises higher and higher
Like this filthy heat above the city sky


And I feel like I'm going mad dancing in the fire

As if I'm only here to prove there are mountains I could move


So love is spent dancing in the fire


Too high the cost and too quick the pain
And all that's left for the outsider
Ashes from dancing in the fire


And voices get louder
And the air's too thick to breathe


Still I lie awake and I wait for the unknown power
Dying for want of sleep



I think my life line was stolen from a movie


The one where they are trying to solve the crime


But this prisoner is always one step before them

And everyone's running trying to stop me in time


And it keeps rising higher and higher
Like this filthy heat above the city sky


And I feel like I'm going mad dancing in the fire
As if I'm only here to prove

There are lovers I could move

Oh love is spent dancing in the fire


Too high the cost and too quick the pain
And all that's left for the outsider
