Firebird

Kubrick in maroon
Needle and a spoon
Swearing hands on fire
Burning with sweet desire
Hallelujah
Hallelujah.

Broken down by the side of the road
Firebird away from home
Hallelujah.

Now you ask what I am feeling
As my memories are seething
And I'm waking up screaming
But it's what I believe in
Hallelujah.

Hoppers waiting room
Painted in perfume
Endings inside a book
All the chances that I took
Hallelujah
Hallelujah.

Now you ask what I am feeling
As my memories are seething
And I'm waking up screaming
But its what I believe in
Hallelujah.

Don't know how long it's been
I was born in an hourglass
Running fast at the end of time
Right around where the roses grow
Streets I've known from the early morn
Built a wall so high I was torn
Climbing for this moment that I need
Now to make it start
We must fall together and not apart
And if it stops now that spring is close
We will never know.

When you tell me you're leaving
Take the air that I'm breathing
And I'm waking up screaming
But it's what I believe in
Hallelujah
Hallelujah.
