We Are On Fire

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I marvel at days that go

Tales of the grasswidow

When I was young

I thought I’d be more than just a fantasy

I wanna be this, I wanna be that

A big black dog with the soul of a cat

The blue-eyed devil inside of me

He won’t leave, he’s buried deep

I used to have eyes the color of sky

Now I can see in the middle of the night

I used to have eyes the color of sky

Now I can see in the middle of the night

If I told you, would you believe?

My soul is wicked; I’m a thief

They’dve burned me

1690 T’was the deadly night shade

Which finished me

Now I’m haunting, and I’m loomin’ ‘round

The old church yard and the damn dog pound

And I’m givin’ some hell and I’m feelin’ free

Never was more than a fantasy

But I fly at night

And by your candle light

My shadow, past your window

I used to have eyes the color of sky

Now I can see in the middle of the night

I used to have eyes the color of sky

Now I can see in the middle of the night

I used to have eyes the color of sky

Now I can see in the middle of the night

I used to have eyes the color of sky

Now I can see in the middle of the night

I used to have eyes the color of sky

Now I can see in the middle of the night

I used to have eyes the color of sky

Now I can see in the middle of the night
