Andrew McMahon In The Wilderness - Fire Escape lyrics

[Verse 1] I met up with an acrobat In Brooklyn or some place like that With life and taxis flying past We tore that dance hall down [Verse 2] Pocket change and subway cars Our big ideas filled empty bars You might be from the moon or mars Either way, I'm never going home [Pre-Chorus] So, lets hang an anchor from the sun There's a million city lights but [Chorus] You're number one You're the reason I'm still Up at dawn Just to see your face We'll be going strong With the vampires, baby We belong, we belong awake [Post-Chorus] Swinging from the fire escape [Verse 3] I was drinking from the wishing well Some junkie metal-head hotel When we boarded the carousel The roof was caving in [Verse 4] On the stage my Oxblood friend Was singing songs about the end The bankers in the lion's den Were dropping lines like beggars in the snow [Pre-Chorus] So, lets hang an anchor from the sun There's a million city lights but [Chorus] You're number one You're the reason I'm still Up at dawn Just to see your face We'll be going strong With the vampires, baby We belong, we belong awake [Post-Chorus] Swinging from the fire escape Swinging from the fire escape Swinging from the fire escape [Verse 5] Walking home your hand in mine Tattoos on the river line The morning birds are taking flight Either way I thought that you should know [Chorus] You're number one You're the reason I'm still Up at dawn Just to see your face We'll be going strong With the vampires, baby We belong, we belong awake [Post-Chorus] Swinging from the fire escape Swinging from the fire escape Swinging from the fire escape Swinging from the fire escape
