Lyrics
Too Close To The Fire
© 2012 Sahlen/Starburst
It's a blistering tragedy weighed down in all its dreams
Sagging from its gravity; bursting from its seams
It's a mourning ritual, boot strapped to its grief
A thundering monstrous spectacle screaming for relief
(chorus)
Long distance love was so much more with you just in my head
But now your constant presence here just fills my heart with dread
This twisting burning firestorm, once flaming with desire
Now lies smoldering in a heap too close to the fire
If we could only go back two centuries ago
To kick start our true destiny before the big bang show
Changing our reality before the fatal plunge
Erasing the banality which ruins all our fun
(chorus)
Long distance love was so much more with you just in my head
But now your constant presence here just fills my heart with dread
This twisting burning firestorm, once flaming with desire
Now lies smoldering in a heap too close to the fire
(bridge)
Life, oh life, it's such a drag hanging round all day
lobotomy brings sanity; there is no other way
(chorus)
Long distance love was so much more with you just in my head
But now your constant presence here just fills my heart with dread
This twisting burning firestorm, once flaming with desire
Now lies smoldering in a heap too close to the fire
