Death Cab For Cutie Grapevine Fires Lyrics

Grapevine Fires Lyrics

The wind picked up, the fire spread

The grapevine singing, left for dead

The northern sky looked like the end of days, end of days



The wake up call to a rented room

Sounded like an alarm of impending doom

To warn us it's only a matter of time



Before we all burn

Before we all burn

Before we all burn

Before we all burn



Bought some wine and some paper cups

Near your daughter's school and we picked her up

Drove to the cemetery on a hill, on a hill



Watched the bullets paint the sky gray

She laughed and danced through the field of graves

There I knew we'd be alright



Everything will be alright

Will be alright

Will be alright

Will be alright



News reports on the radio said it was getting worse

As the ocean air fanned the flames

But I couldn't think of anywhere I would've rather been

To watch it all burn away, to burn away



The firemen worked in double shifts

With prayers for rain on their lips

They knew it was only a matter of time
