I Came for Fire - Elvis Perkins

I turn up like midnight

Like the edge of town

Of all the loose matches

I’ll move among the found

In fact they’ll call me sire

As I rise to the crown

I came for fire

A stickup, a cave, no sound

Quiet the sirens

Down every dead end seed

Let in to the sun way

The eye teeth

The diet white tiger

I force her to feed

I came for fire

My shade grows long against the trees

Lift the trumpet

Lead the unicorn

Into the night

No more forlorn

The tower is wired

To fall to a thorn

I came for fire

I put it to each, all form

Just one second

Before we end

And back to the stars

Return again

I can hear the choirs

From inside the curtain

I came for fire

If I go I know I come back again

Or I stay for love
