After We Kiss

Fire catches,
But only after we kiss.
The draught would soon be here
But only after we kiss.

Floundering in hard snow, baby,
Soldiering on with harsh load, baby,

What I see, gonna hide from you, baby
What I hear, gonna cover your ears for you, baby

Fire catches,
But only after we kiss.
The draught would soon be here
But only after we kiss.

Standing on the ledge of tall buildings,
Soon people would be gathering,
Burning like molten glass,
Everlasting like rolling sap.

So I walk with you,
Over grass that stab like shards of gravel,
In a park I can’t recognize anymore.
I’m just walking in circles round the block,
With my pirate map from third grade.

Fire catches,
But only after we kiss.
The draught would soon be here
But only after we kiss.

The earth will shake,
The heavens would break,
The zoos will trade,
But not until we kiss, my darling not until we kiss.

Fire catches,
But only after we kiss.
The draught would soon be here
But only after we kiss.
