Fire Escape Lyrics by Miranda Lambert

Wildcard

2019

[Verse 1]
We'll smoke like a couple in the 1960s
Lit up like a pair of Woodstock hippies
Lookin' down on a town where it don't seem wrong
To be a bonfire blaze where it don't belong

[Chorus]
Meet me on the fire escape
Meet me on the fire escape
Don't let me wait
I wanna start up this flame
Meet me on the fire escape
Meet me on the fire escape
When the building's burning
Baby, we're to blame
Mmm

[Verse 2]
Downtown bar band's bouncing off the brick walls
Half pint lovers rollin' out with their last calls
The street lights down on Lafayette
Ain't seen nothin' like you and me yet

[Chorus]
Oh‚ meet me on the fire escape
Meet me on the fire escape
Don't let me wait
I wanna start up this flame
Meet me on the fire escape
Meet me on the fire escape
When the building's burning
Baby‚ we're to blame
Baby‚ we're to blame
Mmm

[Post-Chorus]
(Ah, ah)
(Ah, ah)

[Bridge]
We'll smoke like a couple in the 1960s
Up all night like New York City

[Chorus]
Oh‚ meet me on the fire escape
Meet me on the fire escape
Don't let me wait
I wanna start up this flame
Meet me on the fire escape
Meet me on the fire escape
When the building's burning
Baby, we're to blame
Mmm

[Post-Chorus]
(Ah, ah)
Mmm‚ mmm
(Ah, ah)
