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
No life has singed her now
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 two
I saw her spinning and dripping
On your new dress
No life has singed her now
No life has singed her now
No life has singed her now
I can see it fade
