Clearer and Clearer

Fire, fire, I thought I felt fire

Felt a shock from my head to my feet on a wire

I said I was going home

Two drinks ago

Ashes, ashes, clear my heart of the ashes

Build up this flame of eyes and eyelashes

Said I could stay for one more

We closed down the bar

Follow, follow, follow me home

If that’s where you think that you belong

I have been fine on my own

Now I don’t know

Clearer and clearer

There’s a different face I see in the mirror

Than what I was before thee

Than what I was before you loved

You loved me

Show me, show me, show me your scars

Everything that makes you who you are

Show me your sinner and saint

See me just the same

Lay down, lay down, lay down your roots

Extract from me whatever you can use

So mineral-rich I am bursting

So full of the earth I am thirsting

Clearer and clearer

There’s a different face I see in the mirror

Than what I was before thee

Than what I was before you loved

You loved me

I know I am but one breath so mere

And I want to spend it

How can I spend it

I want to spend it in your

In your atmosphere

Clearer and clearer

There’s a different face I see in the mirror

Than what I was before thee

Than what I was before you loved

You loved me

Fire, fire, I thought I felt fire

Felt a shock from my head to my feet on a wire

I said I was going home

Two drinks ago
