Playing With Fire Lyrics

Somehow the basement flooded

While we slept there last night

Stranded on moving box island

Not a life raft in sight

And though I’d never guessed it

I’m sure I saw you smile

as you sent out the signal

that we’d be there for a while

Little red flare

Taking us higher

Surrounded by water

playing with fire

You sang me songs of wonder

I caught you bread and wine

You accused my hips of lying

didn’t mind it at the time

Cause every night you held me

As the rain kept pouring in

And even though you told me

we’d never meet again

I still saw the signal floating

Brightly by your lips

Your hands on my lower back praying

we’d always be like this

Little red flare

Taking us higher

Surrounded by water

playing with fire

And though I’d never guessed it

I’m sure I saw you smile

as you sent out the signal

that we’d be there a while
