Element - Build Fires lyrics

She wakes up, puts a little makeup on I'm waiting outside, hope it doesn't take a long time Cuz I'm trying to roll while the night is young But I bite my tongue because of what might come We might run till the sunrise, mix the bu*terflies Lips locked, tongues tied Two tickets inside of the glove box in my ride She walks outside and I'm tongue tied Last week she made me mushroom tea Started touching me, not giving me much room to breathe At ease baby girl, you're looking like a toy Could you please light a candle and put on some Pink Floyd I can't handle your noise right now, k**ing my vibe I want to climb inside of my own damn mind And for the time being feel like I'm seeing a reason To please the part of my being that feels deep as the Aegean Sea Boston's about to freeze, walking through the autumn leaves Stop and smell the Peonies, maybe eat a few of these It's you and me, and we're one and the same Toxins in the brain add oxygen to the flame because... HOOK: Soon it will be cold enough to build fires Living in the city and we never see stars Yeah we've got a tendency to take it too far But I don't want to call it a night quite yet Soon it will be cold enough to build fires Grew up in the city and we never saw stars Yeah we've got a tendency to take it too far But I don't want to call it a night quite yet The first time I saw her sitting at barstool Peeling the label off of a bottle of harpoon Our soon to be tune was playing through the juke box Got a panoramic view of her bandana tube top Biker boots complimented her daisy dukes Whiskey on the rocks like she trying to get loose Dawning a disguise like the rest of the bar files All starry eyed and escaping the hard times So I slid into the seat beside her Living to die, I thought I'd give it a try I said, "It's only getting colder, drinking until we're sober A quarter of the way through life and getting older I want to move boulders girl," That's what I told her And then she said with a shrug of her shoulder "You're popping tags on your clothes while there's tags on the toes Of a thousand people froze in the city Winter cold Reaching into your bag of lies; hand out all your alibis Hitting on women and then you trick them when the cab arrives What kind of girl do you take me for?" She gave me a cigarette and we headed for the door singing... HOOK This is what living looks like, 2 am at night Sipping a natty light, gripping on a fatty type booty And I'm feeling like of moody from the come down Chasing the sun round the planet till we're dumbfounded Did we grow up to become dumb kids Did we get the notice the vote is to numb our lids Kids looking like they just got back from Bisco Pretending that they live in the 60's in San Francisco Moon rocks got him talking a hell of a lot Somebody sell him some pot, don't want to listen to that Jibber-jabber so I tell him I'll be back soon Cats in gas masks get blasted in the back room All of the noise right now k**ing my vibe I want to climb inside of my own damn mind And for the time being feel like I'm finally breathing Freeing the part of my being that feels deep as the Aegean Sea Boston's about to freeze, walking through the autumn leaves Stop and smell the Peonies, maybe eat a few of these It's you and me, and we're one in the same Toxins in the brain I got nothing to complain about HOOK
