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
