Hometown Farewell Kiss Lyrics - The Triffids

My eyes are filled with light 

My feet can't touch the ground 

From up here I can see the sight 

Of my hometown city burning down 

Now it blazes for me house by house 

And my legs they buckle under me 

But I don't mind, I sing the old song of joy 

For I know why and why it had to be 

Higher, let the flames grow higher 

Erase my name from your lips as we kiss 

Higher, let the 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 drive familiar smoky streets 

I know this town, I know where to turn 

All the while I kept a road map in my head 

I just came back to see the people and their houses burn
