lyrics

SWALLOW FIRE

my black jacket
don't make me no streetfighter
your long fingernails
don't make you no movie star
we better shed our skins
and find out who we're hiding
I don't think I want to take
the waiting anymore

(chorus)
if you're afraid to fall
you'll never walk the wire
if you're afraid to burn
you'll never swallow fire


you don't have to be
the hush-hush around this town
you don't need those kind of people
pounding at your door
you don't have to carry
the world on your skinny shoulders
you don't have to be your daddy's
Barbie doll no more

(chorus)


and if you're afraid to drown
you'll never walk on water
you must want to be something more
than just a rich man's daughter


there's a circus playing
on the edge of town tonight
we can go and watch
the clowns bleed by moonlight
then we'll climb in my dark car and drive
won't even think about where we're going
just like the river don't stop flowing
we're better off not knowing

(chorus)
