Strangers in the Doorways - Kill the Vultures

THE STRANGERS IN THE DOORWAY EMBRACE UNDER THE PORCHLIGHT

LINGERING LIKE CANDLES 'TIL OUR MORNING FADES 'EM DOWN

THE WOMAN’S LEGS ARE GOLDEN AND THEIR BURNING LIKE A TORCH MIGHT

BUT I’VE NEVER SEEN A FIRE FLOAT SO CARELESSLY AROUND

OUTSIDE THE RAIN IS FAST AND SHARP/ BUT IN MY HEAD IT’S WARM

SLEEPING CARS OUT IN THE STREET ARE NOW ABANDONED BOATS

THE STRANGERS SHARE A CIGARETTE/ AN EMBER IN THE STORM

I THINK MAYBE I KNOW THEM WELL/ BUT ALL I SEE IS SMOKE

A CARELESS FLAME DON’T BURN THE SAME

A CARELESS FLAME AIN’T YOURS TO TAME

THE STRANGERS IN THE DOORWAY ARE ACTING OUT A CLASSIC

THE WOMAN HOLDS HIM TIGHTLY AS IF HE’S HER DARKEST SECRET

ELECTRIC VEINS ACROSS THE SKY STRIKE A LONELY ATTIC

AND NOW THE FLAMES ARE SPREADING FAST, THE WIND JUST HELPS TO FEED IT

THE STRANGERS IN THE DOORWAY ARE DRIPPING WET WITH TENSION

THE NEIGHBORHOOD’S ON FIRE AND SHE’S LOOKING AT HER MOOD RING

SHE MURDERS ME WITH DIGNITY AND SEVERS EVERY SENTENCE

BUT WE ALL KNOW MAN-EATERS SINK IF THEY DON’T CONTINUE MOVING

THE STRANGERS IN THE DOORWAY ARE ARGUING IN THUNDER

THE WATER’S AT THEIR ANKLES AND THE FIRE SPREADS METHODIC

SHE CURSED THE DAY SHE MET ME/ SHE’S SET TO PUT ME UNDER

THE CITY MELTS AROUND US AND THERE AIN’T NO TIME FOR LOGIIC
