Fire Escape Songtext
von The Floating Men

Caught a little sun
Feel a little lazy
Had a little fun
Drank a little wine
Made a little love
Got a lot of nothing on my mind
It′s a good night
To lay around here killing time

I made peace with the dark
I'm over the nightmares
I′ve got a strong heart
And clean desires
I'm turning out alright
It's been a sweet life so far
It′s a good night
To kill a little time in your arms


I get a frail hollow longing in my dreams still
A far off sense of loss when I first wake (when I first wake)
But, I′m turning out alright
Ain't it a sweet life these days?
It′s a good night
To kill a little time on the fire escape

Hey
Ya, Hey, Ya

I nearly let the lust destroy me
If not for you I'd have surely drowned
But I′ve seen hunger most will never comprehend
Plant friends and lovers
One by one in the stony ground

There's a gathering storm
I hear a little thunder
I feel a little wind
I smell a little rain
But I can deal with the angels
Cause it ain′t me they're here to claim
It's a good night
For blowing them off
Til some other day


I get a frail hollow longing in my dreams still
A far off sense of loss when I first wake (when I first wake)
Turning out alright
Ain′t it a sweet life these days?
If you think you can stand
Holding my hand on the fire escape
I′m a good man
Who's done a couple of bad things
Along with way
