Never Take Fire Lyrics

Cracks in the shell
You're not doing so well
You're hoping for a raid
You're dying to get laid

You've started talking to strangers
You've dropped all demands
Your head is in a sling
You'll do anything
Anything


You keep scratching the faces off coins
You've collected
As part of your dream
Of a picture-book future
Full of picturesque scenes

You descend all the way to the end
Cause a sere soul
Merely glows like coal
It never takes fire
It never takes fire

From in front of you
From behind of you
From the side of you
From above
From below
The walls are closing in
Real slow

You keep scratching the faces off coins
You've collected
As part of your dream
Of a picture-book future
Full of picturesque scenes

Now you descend all the way to the end
Cause a sere soul
Merely glows like coal
It never takes fire
It never takes fire

You keep scratching the faces off coins
You've collected
As part of your dream
Of a picture-book future
So many picturesque scenes

And you descend all the way to the end
Cause a sere soul
Merely glows like coal
All the lights up in the sky
Still you don't know how to fly
Still you don't know how to fly
