Fire Escape

I like to stick to walls

Observing conversations

Lifting them when they fall

I am a fire escape

My spine is made of iron

My heart pumps out old red paint

Save yourself save yourself yourself

Save yourself save yourself

I see the seasons change

All the young faces come

And replace the dying ones

Sit out on Lexington and Vine

All the pimps and prostitutes

Waving down stopping signs

Save yourself save yourself yourself

Save yourself save yourself

I'll send you this sign

I've waited for you

To pick yourself up and change

This city you've made

Who's oceans and sand

Were founded by liars and self made men

I've seen the dreamers find their legs

And I've seen the ones who come

And get reduced to bones and rags

I am a fire escape

My spine is made of iron

My heart pumps out old red paint

Save yourself save yourself

Save yourself save yourself
