Swallow Fire

The North Atlantic


Swallow fire
chew the wine
you can't control your body
take your pill
sell your will
Vicadin is so in style
I'll tell you one thing sugar we're not
standing still
dance party in the parking lot
dance party in the landfill

cashing in on car crash scenes
in the magazines
life in the wrong city
you can't, you can't, you can't compete
life in the wrong city

I had a dream of stereos
building cities, silicone and tin
on the ashes of your
on the ashes of your eyelids

Solid state
hard wired
a machine of lips set me on fire
Hear them singing
hear them singing
can't you hear them ringing?
I'll tell you one thing sugar
We're not standing still
Dance party in the parking lot
dance party in the land fill

You be the bullet
I'll be the gun
