Fire Escapes Lyrics by Su Ha Bu Wa

SoulSpeak: Fruition and Other Times

2019

[Verse 1]
Autumn leaves falling, black cotton tee and olive denim
The sun sets on a red Schwinn in momentum
There’s two of us. We’re riding down Milwaukee Ave
We lock our bikes in the alley then we walk it out
Along every street from Cumberland to Lake Shore
Power lines and water towers framing Ursa Major
That’s what we came for. To climb to higher places
Nurturing our human nature to connect the constellations
Are you afraid of heights? Do you get vertigo?
If so, then don't look down, it's looking kind of vertical
We're getting nervous so, you crack a joke
Get to the top, we chill and exchange a couple anecdotes
(Oh) Discuss life while we drink a beer
Suds mixing with the taste of the atmosphere
Brother, I hope you find what you’re looking for
Only God knows why we burn
[Bridge]
Between my feet see the cantaloupe glow
Of the street lights, if I could be so bold
To lean over would it be over, or
Would angels show up to save my poor soul?
Lord knows I need a way out
Crashing through the clouds, it’s a long ways down
It’s a long ways down
It’s a long ways...
[Verse 2]
Two coyotes on the train tracks (Ah!)
Below my feet, vibrating like a Maytag
Freight train coming through with a payload
Watch it pass by with my thumbs in my waistband
(Ey) The lights disappear, we fade to black
You still down to roam or do you want to (go and) hit the sack?
Before you answer back, lightning like a whip
I got home soaking wet, three o’clock on my wrist
In my room I feel like a brain in a skull
My eyes are the windows as I search for a soul
Rain on my windowpane, tears in the gutter
Move to sewers, I shed my clothes and shut the shutters
Under covers staring off at hypnogogic images
In the shadows see the pixels dancing with the echoes
I fell asleep with feathers fluffed under my melon
Locomotives heading to new horizons…
[Chorus]
Pixels, ninjas, planets, syringes
Forests, aisles, bottles, smiles
Dreams (I’m in heaven), dreams (olive denim)
Rest my head on feathers til my mind flies free
Pixels, ninjas, planets, syringes
Forests, aisles, bottles, smiles
Dreams (I’m in heaven), dreams (olive denim)
Rest my head on feathers til my mind flies free
[Outro]
I never thought I’d die a suit and tie suicide
On the edge of a granite ledge up in the sky
Always imagined going out like: bonzai!
I hit the hood of a taxi with a swan dive
