First things first I was made from the dirt A hollow shell of skin and bone Now my souls on fire and I wanna let it burn, let it hurt A man on fire is a man fully grown
So build your hearth Gather your sparks There's room in the coal There's always room for one more soul
I am one with all the stars in the sky A dancing fugue alone with the sound of a million bars in the Spanish night Gun it up and keep it running A different sound. A different humming.
A perfect imperfection so delicately poised Your stare wove threadbare the fabric of this ribcage once destroyed A weaving song you sang to me In my heart of hearts I felt the beat So soft and sweet
Where the smoke rises the fire will die Not all Jack's fault Not for lack of salt For the end is merely a new death And life is an old friend we must wish well and sell our last breath
And I wept with tears of joy and sadness Consumed by this earthly madness I could no longer give myself to the spirit of the sky For I knew, I knew that no one ever really dies
