Smoke - Todd Rundgren

It happened so fast

The blink of an eye

I never intended to

Go flying so high

Nothing was serious

Then it caught fire

Tried to stay cool

But the heat just get higher

Trapped in a tinderbox

Of rage and desire

The friction was so intense

Then we caught fire

We were aflame

Starshine was here to stay

Then it faded away

And it all went up in smoke

Life was cherries flambe

But that was so yesterday

Then it all went up in smoke

Now here am I

Kicking the ashes

Of a memory gone by

Things got too serious

Then they caught fire

Now I’ve been burned

I’m a bit wiser

A place in the shade

Is all I require

Yet I’m still hypnotized

When I see fire

We were aflame

Starshine was here to stay

Then it faded away

And it all went up in smoke

Life was cherries flambe

But that was so yesterday

Then it all went up in smoke

It all went up in smoke

All went up in smoke

All went up in smoke

All went up in smoke

Then it all went up in smoke

Then it all went up in smoke

We were aflame

Starshine was here to stay

Then it faded away

And it all went up in smoke

Life was cherries flambe

But that was so yesterday

Then it all went up in smoke

Then it all went up in smoke

Then it all went up in smoke
