so you thought that i'd be easy
well i guess that you were wrong
put your money where your mouth is baby
want to paint a pretty picture
of the mess that you have made
and to think i would've taken your name
and tomorrow you'll be putting out flames
hands up and feel the motion, here we go ah here we go
i don't desire your disease, be sure to let the next one know
fire walking through the city, and it's burning for you too
i never said that i was perfect but i'm better than you
let me tell you 'bout the rapture
that will come when you're alone
and to think you called me accident prone
it's a comical prediction
but reality is fun
go ahead and buy yourself a gun
but boy you better run
dream driving got you mixed up, now you're wide awake
always making wise decisions for somebody else's sake
fire walking through the city and it's looking for you too
i never said that i was jesus but i took a nail for you
isn't it sweet
sucking the life
of anything foolish enough to swing by
isn't the core
all you can taste
til one day you wake up to some aging face
burning paper cuz you know you can
talking dirty cuz you think you're a man
hands up if you're alive here we go ah here we go
walking pretty over water but you got no where to go
black magic couldn't fix you cuz you get what you desire
i never knew that i was more than what you wanted me to be
and you're still under the impression that you did what's best for me
i never said it didn't burn but now i'm cool and you're on fire
