Now I Am an Arsonist (feat. Suzanne Vega)

I was just an acrobat, high above the street
 Pointing at the ground, the empty sky beneath my feet
 The perfect fall, no one could tell at all
 That it was killing me
 You were just an astronaut, floating on a spark
 Tearing up the atmosphere, burning down the dark
 As you fell in, the heat against your skin
 Till it got too bright to see
 ♪
 Far away, I hear the things they say about me
 Even though they know you had to go without me
 ♪
 Now you are an architect, setting up the scene
 Everyone is with you and you're all waiting for me
 You check the net, but you haven't caught me yet
 They're not quite done with me
 Now I am an arsonist, seven miles high
 Burning through the air I breathe, thunder in the sky
 My engine sings as it melts this pair of wings
 That only I can see
 ♪
 Touch the sun, my eyes wide open, unbelieving
 Catch a breath, the only one who's left is leaving
 ♪
 Now I am an arsonist
