Okkervil River - One Soul Less On Your Fiery List lyrics

My eyes are filled with light
My feet hardly touch the ground
From up here I can see the sights
My hometown city burning down

Now it blazes for me house by house
And my legs buckle under me
I don't mind, I sing a new song of joy
For I know why it was and why had to be

Flames grow higher higher flames grow higher
Licks my name from your lips as we kiss
Higher higher flames grow higher
Now there's one soul less on your fiery list
Now there's one soul less on your fiery list
Now I char these old deserted streets
I know the names, I know where to turn
All this time I kept a roadmap in my mind
I just came back to watch the
People in their houses burn

Flames grow higher higher flames grow higher
Erase my name from your lips as we kiss
Higher higher flames grow higher
Now there's one soul less on your fiery list

Flames grow higher flames grow higher now
Erase my name from your lips as we kiss
Higher flames grow higher
Now there's one soul less on your fiery list
Now there's one soul less on your fiery list

One soul less on your fiery list
One soul less on your fiery list
One soul less on your fiery list
One soul less, there's one soul less

Hometown farewell hometown farewell
Hometown farewell hometown farewell kiss
