Fire Escape Lyrics - Andrew Mcmahon

I met up with an acrobat 

In Brooklyn or some place like that 

With life and taxis flying past 

We tore that dance hall down 

Pocket change and subway cars 

Our big ideas filled empty bars 

You might be from the moon or mars 

Either way, I'm never going home 

So, lets hang an anchor from the sun 

There's a million city lights but 

You're number one 

You're the reason I'm still 

Up at dawn 

Just to see your face 

We'll be going strong 

With the vampires, baby 

We belong, we belong awake 

Swinging from the fire escape 

I was drinking from the wishing well 

Some junkie metal-head hotel 

When we boarded the carousel 

The roof was caving in 

On the stage my Oxblood friend 

Was singing songs about the end 

The bankers in the lion's den 

Were dropping lines like beggars in the snow 

So, lets hang an anchor from the sun 

There's a million city lights but 

You're number one 

You're the reason I'm still 

Up at dawn 

Just to see your face 

We'll be going strong 

With the vampires, baby 

We belong, we belong awake 

Swinging from the fire escape 

Swinging from the fire escape 

Swinging from the fire escape 

Walking home your hand in mine 

Tattoos on the river line 

The morning birds are taking flight 

Either way I thought that you should know 

You're my number one 

You're the reason I'm still 

Up at dawn 

Just to see your face 

We'll be going strong 

With the vampires, baby 

We belong, we belong awake 

You're my number one 

You're the reason I'm still 

Up at dawn 

Just to see your face 

We'll be going strong 

With the vampires, baby 

We belong, we belong awake 

Swinging from the fire escape 

Swinging from the fire escape 

Swinging from the fire escape 

Swinging from the fire escape
