lyrics

Did you see straight that night
When you said you went to Brown
And there were rhinestones in your eyes
Got late, the flytrap and I took flight
Rode the train back across town
Without a single goodbye

Flaming creature, when will I see your face again
Now fortune's beat your heart against mine

Cold night, but Princess Taco was right
When she said you would go far
So far we'd only seen light it was
So bright, the force of you made me blind
But on the train, oh I saw rainbows
I saw worlds beyond sight

Flaming creature, when will I see your face again
Now fortune's beat your heart against mine

We plunged, flew, or fell who can tell
Blazing past the past that burned us
Boy we jumped out of hell
We wove the wildest spells
When on enchanted autumn leaves
I swear we made the earth swell

Flaming creature, when will I see your face again
Now fortune's beat your heart against mine
