I think my heart was designed to fade and lose color To turn inside out and wash in the rain It loses all perfection in cold water So the desired look is obtained
And it rises higher and higher Like this filthy heat above the city sky And I feel like I'm going mad dancing in the fire As if I'm only here to prove there are mountains I could move So love is spent dancing in the fire Too high the cost and too quick the pain And all that's left for the outsider Is ashes from dancing in the fire I think my eyes were made for deception Interpreting lovers will call what we want the truth With all I have seen burning behind these mirrors The reflection they see is all that I pursue And it rises higher and higher Like this filthy heat above the city sky And I feel like I'm going mad dancing in the fire As if I'm only here to prove there are mountains I could move So love is spent dancing in the fire Too high the cost and too quick the pain And all that's left for the outsider Ashes from dancing in the fire And voices get louder And the air's too thick to breathe Still I lie awake and I wait for the unknown power Dying for want of sleep I think my life line was stolen from a movie The one where they are trying to solve the crime But this prisoner is always one step before them And everyone's running trying to stop me in time And it keeps rising higher and higher Like this filthy heat above the city sky And I feel like I'm going mad dancing in the fire As if I'm only here to prove There are lovers I could move Oh love is spent dancing in the fire Too high the cost and too quick the pain And all that's left for the outsider Ashes from dancing in the fire
