Flaming Arrow

Flaming Arrow Lyrics

From 12 stories high I watch the smoke against the sky
And the daytime turns into dark
Now, who would've thought - after all that kerosene I bought -
That it would only take one flaming arrow to hit the mark
Now I just watch your building on fire
I hate to say I told you so, but
You build me up and you burn me down
So I take the trick you play and turn it around
You build me up and you burn me down
And you know I love to watch you rolling on the ground
You give what you get, guess you haven't learned that lesson yet
Or maybe do I have that the other way around?
The fire I set - I see it hasn't reached your room yet
And I know you'd never survive the fall all the way to the ground
I know you haven't replaced your alarm
Now I just watch your building on fire
I hate to say I told you so, but
You build me up and you burn me down
So I take the trick you play and turn it around
You build me up and you burn me down
And you know I love to watch you rolling on the ground
From 12 stories high I watch the smoke clear from the sky
And the dark day turns back to bright
Your cat licks it's claws, cleans the soot from off it's paws
And the news helicopters linger through the night
You build me up and you burn me down
So I take the trick you play and turn it around
You build me up and you burn me down
And you know I love to watch you rolling on the ground
I know you love to watch me rolling on the ground
