Traffic howls five flights below me
I chase a shadow through my room
The night was long and insincere,
but now it seems I'm in the clear
For now the strange is fading
There's a dream I come to think of
'Cause only dreams can go that far
Its fire works inside of me,
it's in my blood like mercury
Well, now the strange is fading
Have you been in the white fire?
Out at sea whithout a sail
And all your friends, they sing so soft
They love you with their fingers crossed
Well, now the strange is fading
Think I'll stay inside the music
You'll have to come and get me here
I love it when you sing my name,
come down and meet me in the flames
I know the strange is fading
Been fading for so long...
