You know all the heat that's running through the city
You know the cold that drove us underground
And the things that we were told
To make us go away
Nothing changed, it stayed the same
You know the gloves you bought to make sure my hands were warm
Don't much wear 'em anymore
The earth is firing up, and the wires we tried to connect
To make it all ok
Didn't lighten up their minds
You know the code you set could somehow break the system
It was real, you said it was
And that's why I believe
We all stood there pressing hard
So that everyone could see, See it all
For what it is
Chemical display
Of my feelings for you
Watch them burst to flames
As the fumes burn away
Burn ... away
You know the abandoned basement that we hid in
We played cards to pass the time
Until you finished all the plans
Then you kissed me till it hurt
Told me over again
It's almost here, we're almost there
You know the day the clouds grew dark
As if in warning
You all walked to the edge of the giant double doors
And placed the package on the steps
Looked up at the sky it was loud
And then it rained
Chemical display
Of my feelings for you
Watch them burst to flames
As the fumes burn away
Burn ... away
SOLO - (ahhh's)
You know I didn't go with you to make a statement
I lost all of my nerve when I was up late last night
And I read it in the paper,
You left to make it right
Why did you have to pick that fight
Chemical display
Of my feelings for you
Watch them burst to flames
As the fumes burn away
Burn
Chemical display
Of my feelings for you
Watch them burst to flames
As the fumes burn away
Burn ... away
