The pAper chAse - Im Going To... (The Forest Fire) (from Someday This Could All Be Yours Vol. 1)

On the day Chicago locked his doors for good

Our headless chickens pushed and pecked along their southbound route

They cluck the atrocity

Their beaks are posturing at an old vampire, a forest fire

Any day, the windy city's gonna blow it out for you

I'll keep a horseshoe on my step

I'll keep a cross around my neck

Draping garlic over our beds

All good luck amulets and aids, we'll dab your forehead, keep you safe

From the forest fire rage

Our fine crystal will ching

We'll drink to anything if it keeps the tires moving

Keeps commuting smooth for you

And I'm drawing a bloodbath with or without you

And on the day the fire nibbled your neighborhood

Regard your brimstone as if it were gravestone

And the blaze we blow loose

Our cottage knee shaking

The flames were giggling and the ember's beaming it's chest, it's beating

That little house we've made gets gobbled up by flames

And I'll mash my foot down on the gas of any black cat that cross my path

Than to risk it or to lay them in my lap

We keep our umbrellas down here, we toss the salt behind our ears

'Cause the good looks weren't worth our seven years

With tightly coiled springs that snap for anything

We're gonna keep a lighter to it even while it burns for you

And I'm going to heaven with or without you

I'll keep a horseshoe on my step

I'll keep a cross around my neck

Draping garlic over our beds

All ladder legs we walk around

No burning flags will touch the ground

With the same one that our cracks we've found

And I swear to God

I'll bury a bible in these halls and I'll bury a black cat between the walls

Good luck, Godspeed, God damn you all

God damn you all

God damn you all

God damn you all

God damn you all
