One Soul Less On Your Fiery List Okkervil River

My eyes are filled with light
My feet hardly touch the ground
From up here I can see the sights
My hometown city burning down

Now it blazes for me house by house
And my legs buckle under me
I don't mind, I sing a new song of joy
For I know why it was and why had to be

Flames grow higher higher
Flames grow higher
Licks my name from your lips as we kiss
Higher higher
Flames grow higher
Now there's one soul less on your fiery list
Now there's one soul less on your fiery list

Now I char these old deserted streets
I know the names, I know where to turn
All this time I kept a roadmap in my mind
I just came back to watch the people in their houses burn

Flames grow higher higher
Flames grow higher
Erase my name from your lips as we kiss
Higher higher
Flames grow higher
Now there's one soul less on your fiery list
