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
