Suzanne Vega - Now I Am An Arsonist lyrics

I was just an acrobat, high above the street Pointing at the ground the empty sky beneath my feet The perfect fall, no one could tell at all That it was k**ing me You were just an astronaut, floating on a spark Tearing up the atmosphere, burning down the dark As you fell in, the heat against your skin Till it got too bright to see Far away, I hear the things they say about me Even though they know you had to go without me Now you are an architect, setting up the scene Everyone is with you and you're all waiting for me You check the net, but you haven't caught me yet They're not quite done with me Now I am an arsonist, seven miles high Burning through the air I breathe, thunder in the sky My engine sings as it melts this pair of wings That only I can see Touch the sun, my eyes wide open unbelieving Catch a breath, the only one who's left is leaving Now I am an arsonist
