Satellites labor through the sky Pretending they are stars of burning light We are both drunk on top shelf rye That we swore we'd save The night is for fools who have grown tired Mornings and afternoon desires This is the first I've seen you smile Since we left your room The world is on fire And I'm on high on you Under the moon Your mother was sick And getting older My heart was dark And getting colder And the TV and radio Don't have anything good to say Well you burn a candle at both I burn the bridges with my friends And you are my only light That thinks might get better soon The world is on fire And I'm on high on you Under the moon So lay me down slow until the morning And don't give me any signs or warnings Maybe there's sun will raise And it might bring something new The world is on fire And I'm on high on you Under the moon The world is on fire And I'm on high on you Under the moon The world is on fire And I'm on high on you Under the moon
