There's a fire forming not too far from here Along the east coast, maybe it resides in you, my dear Worn out on our courtesy, we've made our curtain calls Like vampire bats deprived of blood, into the New York City night we crawl And you've got a funny way of showing off your bathoom surgery You said you were just cooling down from plans of leaving me There's something I should tell you, for we may not have much time I've never met arms like yours The stars at night are big and bright Deep in your eyes, Miss Vincent You told me once I made you smile But we both know damn well I didn't I'm not much of a jester, but I'd test poisoned food for you Your majesty, you're royal blue I'm royalty, my king of pain There's a hard rain falling, flooding your attic, it's clear Can't put out the fire that resides in you, my dear There's something I should tell you, for we may not have much time I've never seen scars like yours (oops, right title, wrong band - both great songs)Alk3

One of their best songs. Brilliant album, too. Too bad their egos could not let them share one room together. Terrible thing mainstream success, you know.

Not that his playing is particularly showcased in this track, but Copeland is a kick ass drummer. Gifted, my fave. What an exceptional CD, weren't they all, though.
