Catching 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.
Catching, catching, catching, catching fire
Ripping, bitching, ripping, pitching, stitching time
Up on, up on, up on, up a wire
Itching, scratching, dripping, sipping turpentine
You are so susceptible, worship your own spectacle
The window to your soul is broken down
But you people are cruel people
But you people like cool people
But you people go better with a bottle of wine
In over my head but I'm fine
You're catching fire, I'm catching fire
Pitching a fit and I'm catching fire
My minds on fire
Reach in, reach in, reach in, reach into the fire
Itching, scratching, bitching, kicking deep inside
For your information I pawned your old Playstation
And I threw that old guitar in the fire
You people are cruel people
But cool people like you people
You people go better with a bottle of wine
I'm on a roll I'm headed home
Before the heads start to roll
In over my head and I'm catching fire
I'm headed home
From the tip of my head to the tip of my toes
Tip of a thorn on the stem of a rose
Fanning the flame of a fire
You people are screwed people
And you people are cool people
But you people look better with a bottle of wine
You people are mine
Catching fire
I'm catching fire
Just like the smoke in your eyes, like a burning highrise
I'm catching fire
I'm headed home
