Take a giant leap   Off the only ledge you know   Kiss the ground above your head   Surf the blue sky down below   Taste the air that's burning sweet   With all the words you can't take back   Eighteen orchids at your feet   So ride the one that leads the pack         You're a grifter off his game   In a town with many names   You're a MOTH OF MANY FLAMES   You're a MOTH OF MANY FLAMES   You're a MOTH OF MANY FLAMES         Play it safe and sterile   Staying on the well-worn path   Praying that your ferile friends   Never find the strength to laugh   They lead you through the shadows   Where you live beyond your means   Not a whim is sanitized   When you give into your dreams   Or so it seems      Yes it really seems a shame   That your're gonna have to take the blame   You're a MOTH OF MANY FLAMES   You're a MOTH OF MANY FLAMES   You're a MOTH OF MANY FLAMES         So you sift down all your thoughts   Like fine dust through a cloth   But there's no way out my friend   Cause the law of nature's one that you can't bend      You're a MOTH OF MANY FLAMES   You're a MOTH OF MANY FLAMES   You're a MOTH OF MANY FLAMES
