Now I Am an Arsonist (feat. Suzanne Vega)

[00:06.88] I was just an acrobat, high above the street
[00:13.31] Pointing at the ground the empty sky beneath my feet
[00:18.77] The perfect fall, no one could tell at all
[00:24.30] That it was killing me
[00:32.85] You were just an astronaut, floating on a spark
[00:38.94] Tearing up the atmosphere, burning down the dark
[00:44.75] As you fell in, the heat against your skin
[00:50.27] Till it got too bright to see
[00:58.87] Far away, I hear the things they say about me
[01:09.05] Even though they know you had to go without me
[01:25.17] Now you are an architect, setting up the scene
[01:31.57] Everyone is with you and you're all waiting for me
[01:37.08] You check the net, but you haven't caught me yet
[01:42.63] They're not quite done with me
[01:51.43] Now I am an arsonist, seven miles high
[01:57.78] Burning through the air I breathe, thunder in the sky
[02:03.06] My engine sings as it melts this pair of wings
[02:08.72] That only I can see
[02:17.27] Touch the sun, my eyes wide open unbelieving
[02:27.02] Catch a breath, the only one who's left is leaving
[02:43.56] Now I am an arsonist
[02:47.80]
