No Life Singed Her

Pavement

Take me down from the ridge where

The summer ends, we'll watch the city

Spread out just like a jet's flame.

I've got a secret for you, I cut your

Angel in two, I left her bleeding

And soaked it with a dry sponge

No life has singed her now

(I can see it fade)

We've got a license to live, it's our only one,

If it expires we float up to the dust haze.

I've got a secret for you, I cut your

Angel in 2, I saw her spinning and dripping

on your new dress.
