Living in an Abandoned Firehouse With You

You're in your own little world, an expensive birdcage

Like a plastic baby in a Faberge egg

I saw you today at the Cafe Blase

And thought of the nights when we had fire fightsNameless seaside ghost town, that's where I go when I see the moon

Living in an abandoned firehouse with you

You're in your own little head in a field of sunflowers

And there's blood in your mouth and there's rats all over townTake me out to the beach and I'll tell you my secret name

Take me under the sea and we'll derail the trains

Let's run away into the caves

I still love you, I still love you babyYou're in your own little box with ribbons in your hair

and there's dust in your mouth and worms in the air

Hideous city of unknown words that's where I live when I go to sleep

In an abandoned firehouse with you
