She’s wearing glass slippers tonight
One slid right off without a fight
My word is: I’ll track you down
I’m sure you’ll find me
But I can’t sit still
My gears are winding
I need to drink a beer and pop some pills
And lay on my bedroom floor
This feels like sailing in a storm
I can’t resist the swell is warm
With swiftness be sure you’ll drown
But if I know the sea
You’ll drift up by the beach
I’ll roll my slacks to the knee
And I’ll pry at that shell till I’m holding the pearl that you are
[Chorus]
Just tell me where to sign
I need everyday to feel this fine
If everyday the sun would shine like this
(Oh yeah I heated up that propane as hot as she’d go
Then I closed that wicker gate and sweet Mary we rose too high)
If this beauty pushes on
Who’s the beast and who’s the fawn
Shall we dance until real life pulls
Us from this dreamer’s tale?
Or will fate and chance and faith prevail?
See I’m prepared for a cliff dive
We love and we live or we’ve died
[Chorus]
They all saw the sparks go flying
The tinderbox and I collided
We conspired then and there, to blaze
The firestorm spread much quicker
On desert nights soaked in liquor
I’ll admit: I wasn’t quite prepared
That balloon took us so high
We floated through the bright black sky
And I don’t think we’ll ever come back down
[Chorus]
