Book of Matches Songtext

Book of Matches Songtext
I am a pheonix addicted to the fire.
I′m born and born and born again in ashes
You give me water and you give me sky
But all I want is a book of matches.
I've seen it in the fire -
The image of my face
Like a ghost of my own dream
The music gone to waste!
Frightened of the flow,
I pulled the living plug.
Salvation is a thrill,
Self destruction is a drug.
The whiskey and the wine
My pearls thrown to swine
Shot down my own ideas
Dissected every line
I overdid it all
I pushed on every wall
Till all the house came down
An echo of the fall!
I′m born and born and born again in ashes
You give me water and you give me sky
But all I want is a book of matches.
I've seen it in the fire -
The image of my face
Like a ghost of my own dream
The music gone to waste!
Frightened of the flow,
I pulled the living plug.
Salvation is a thrill,
Self destruction is a drug.
The whiskey and the wine
My pearls thrown to swine
Shot down my own ideas
Dissected every line
I overdid it all
I pushed on every wall
Till all the house came down
An echo of the fall!
