Maybe I was missing something initially And maybe eventually it will all make sense Snakes against angels and stairways to heaven I'm shaking all over and I can't control it Did you think it was easy, and nearly fall into it? Wonder if you see it beyond the lip service Try to accept that it's hard enough I'm telling you, it's rough Every day could be our last Burning, darling, burning fast Time won't slow for anyone Out on the tracks at a quarter to one I accept you, as impossible as it sounds Impossible the more the barrier Going down with the ship with a smile, with the family There aren't any lifeboats to heaven around here Just misguided people playing Russian roulette Mistaking kindness for weakness
Thinking like giants and acting like children Strangers in a hurry Every day could be our last Burning, darling, burning fast Time won't slow for anyone Out on the tracks at a quarter to one You set me on fire, then watch me fly You can see how I burn, you can feel how I try You're my number one puncher, my number one fist You're my heaven in my heartbeat and my one true bliss So let me down on the floor, I can't take anymore From the snakes against angels and stairways to heaven And more different faces than a couple of dice I'm shaking all over and I can't control it Every day could be our last Burning, darling, burning fast Time won't slow for anyone Out on the tracks at a quarter to one
