Dancing In The Fire Lyrics

I think my heart was designed to fade and lose color

                                            To turn inside out and wash in the
rain

                                             It loses all perfection in cold
water

                                                So the desired look is obtained



                                                 And it rises higher and higher

                                            Like this filthy heat above the
city sky

                                       And I feel like I'm going mad dancing in
the fire

                                 As if I'm only here to prove there are
mountains I could move



                                              So love is spent dancing in the
fire

                                            Too high the cost and too quick the
pain

                                              And all that's left for the
outsider

                                               Is ashes from dancing in the
fire



                                            I think my eyes were made for
deception

                                      Interpreting lovers will call what we
want the truth

                                       With all I have seen burning behind
these mirrors

                                          The reflection they see is all that I
pursue



                                                 And it rises higher and higher

                                            Like this filthy heat above the
city sky

                                       And I feel like I'm going mad dancing in
the fire

                                 As if I'm only here to prove there are
mountains I could move



                                              So love is spent dancing in the
fire

                                            Too high the cost and too quick the
pain

                                              And all that's left for the
outsider

                                                 Ashes from dancing in the fire



                                                     And voices get louder

                                               And the air's too thick to
breathe

                                       Still I lie awake and I wait for the
unknown power

                                                    Dying for want of sleep



                                          I think my life line was stolen from
a movie

                                        The one where they are trying to solve
the crime

                                        But this prisoner is always one step
before them

                                        And everyone's running trying to stop
me in time



                                             And it keeps rising higher and
higher

                                            Like this filthy heat above the
city sky

                                       And I feel like I'm going mad dancing in
the fire

                                                  As if I'm only here to prove

                                                 There are lovers I could move



                                              Oh love is spent dancing in the
fire

                                            Too high the cost and too quick the
pain

                                              And all that's left for the
outsider

                                                 Ashes from dancing in the fire
