Fire Escape

On the fire escape

We stopped and we looked down

Through the broken glass, on the sirens on the spies

When you’re still midway

It’s not too late to just turn back

The winter is cruel round here

The future is not down there

“Why can’t they just think like us?”

“Why can’t they just think like us?”

“Why can’t they just think like us?”

If you’ve got flags to wear

You should be careful what you sell

On the fire escape

I think I slipped, I think I fell

But you’re still midway

It’s not too late to just turn back

It’s not too late to just turn back

The winter is cruel round here

The future is not down there

“Why can’t they just think like us?”

“Why can’t they just think like us?”

“Why can’t they just think like us?”

We were raised by strangers

The life that you had in mind

Was just a moth and a light

Was just a moth and a light

Was just a moth and a light
