This fire's growing stronger as it changes direction (I can't feel my arm) As animals secretly wish our destruction (They watch and wait) The city we've abandoned burns away in the distance (We are no one) Like stray dogs left behind to wait For dead masters, long gone Behold the fields of fire as they cleanse our infection (In cold grey love) Now smoke and suffocation be the peace that you offer (The lonely one) California dreamers and skeletons wonder (In lithium) Like gasoline and crucifix Roman candles and the fourth of July On Black Friday we dance, we play The tanks roll out and the lovers play The sun is gone and the moon is high The wolves will eat and the wolves will die Saint Francis, you've gone away You've stuck us here with your bills to pay No words are left for a pretty song About how we lived and we got it wrong
