Fire Escape

(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh) (Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh) I met up with an acrobat In Brooklyn or some place like that With life and taxis flying past We tore that dance hall down (Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh) (Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh) Pocket change and subway cars And our big ideas filled empty bars We might be from the moon or Mars Either way, I'm never going home (Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh) (Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh) So let's hang an anchor from the sun There's a million city lights, but you're number one You're the reason I'm still up at dawn Just to see your face We'll be going strong, with the vampires, baby We belong, we belong awake (Swinging from the fire escape) (Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh) I was drinking from the wishing well Some junkie metal-head hotel When we boarded the carousel The roof was caving in (Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh) (Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh) And on the stage, my ox blood friend Was singing songs about the end The bankers in the lion's den They're dropping lines like beggars in the snow (Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh) (Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh) So let's hang an anchor from the sun There's a million city lights, but you're number one You're the reason I'm still up at dawn Just to see your face We'll be going strong, with the vampires, baby We belong, we belong awake Swinging from the fire escape (Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh) Swinging from the fire escape (Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh) Swinging from the fire escape Walking home, your hand in mine Tattoos on the river line The morning birds are taking flight Either way, I thought that you should know (woo) You're my number one You're the reason I'm still up at dawn Just to see your face We'll be going strong, with the vampires, baby We belong, we belong awake You're my number one You're the reason I'm still up at dawn Just to see your face We'll be going strong, with the vampires, baby We belong, we belong awake Swinging from the fire escape (Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh) Swinging from the fire escape (Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh) Swinging from the fire escape (Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh) Swinging from the fire escape (Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
