You let your ideas flame While the ashes fly While you're mixed in with your potions Just to last this night
While it buries you (x2)
You wait for the rescue And you hold on tight It's a late night at the movies For the thousandth time
While it buries you (x2) But it caries you away
They ask for the ransom And they wonder why You're wrapped up in a blanket Made of trumpet vine
While it buries you (x2) But it caries you away
You're a victim of your art You were a pilgrim from the start You never see what you throw 'Cause your making mountains in the snow You spin the world in your hand But you always end up in Japan But then you leave when you start You walk around it you bury it You can't fix it When it's in your head
