My eyes are filled with life   My feet can't touch the ground   From up here I can see the sights   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'll sing the old song of joy   For I know why and why it had to be      Higher, higher; flames grow higher   Erase my name from your lips as we kiss   Higher, higher; now 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 along those familiar streets   I know it all, bearing names, now I know where to turn   All this while I kept a roadmap in my head   I just came back to see the people in their houses burn      Higher, higher; flames grow higher now   Erase 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      Flames grow higher and 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   Now there's one soul less on your fiery list      One soul less on your fiery list...   One soul less on your fiery list...   One soul less on your fiery list...   One soul less on your fiery list...      One soul less on your fiery list...   One soul less on your fiery list...   Hometown farewell, now   Hometown farewell   Hometown farewell   Hometown farewell kiss.
