Elvis Perkins - I Came For Fire lyrics

I turn up like midnight Like the edge of town Of all the loose matches I'll move among the found In fact they'll call me sire As I rise to the crown I came for fire A stickup, a cave, no sound Quiet the sirens Down every dead end seed Let in to the sun way The eye teeth The diet white tiger I force her to feed I came for fire My shade grows long against the trees Lift the trumpet Lead the unicorn Into the night No more forlorn The tower is wired To fall to a thorn I came for fire I put it to each, all form Just one second Before we end And back to the stars Return again I can hear the choirs From inside the curtain I came for fire If I go I know I come back again Or I stay for love
