So Much Fire Songtext
von The Floating Men

I ain′t nothing but ribs, knees, and elbows
I'm way too young to be dry, brittle, and cold
I′ve been wondering how
I let her hurl me into madness
I've been wondering how
She bled the child in me away

I've been hammering boards
Over the windows
I′ve been nailing the doors
To the frames
I′ve been wondering how
I let her fill my heart with lightning
I've been wondering how
She led a long-haired boy astray

No, I′ve fought to the man
For the last time (last time, last time)
And I don't understand
How a girl so much like rain
Can breathe so much fire


I′ve been tapping the walls
Listening for angels
I've been eyeing the halls
Spying for ghosts
In a shadowy dream
I see her barefoot on the glider
I try to beg her for peace (oh)
I′m just too vague and far away

No, I've fought to the man
For the last time (last time, last time)
And I don't understand
How a girl so much like rain
Can breathe so much fire

In a shadowy dream (oh)
I see her barefoot on the glider
I try to beg her for peace (oh)
I′m just too vague and far away
No, I′ve fought to the man
For the last time (last time, last time)
And I don't understand
How a girl so much like rain
Could breathe so much fire
She breathed so much fire
How could she see
Through the flames
How could she see
Through the flames
