run like you're on fire   towards the unlocked door   you'll break the glass in haste   but that's forgivable   burst into the air   the vaccuum taking care   of motion 'til you hit   the ground, so grit your teeth      set the house on fire when you leave   cos the things we've done nobody will believe   and it's better to cement this in our minds   than to let it die and leave it all behind      so cling like jonah to   the ribs of the mountainside   and haul yourself up by   the pads of your fingertips   the wind cuts through your skin   like scythes right to the quick   you'll shake it off like oil   and sigh and climb again      set the house on fire when you leave   cos the things we've done nobody will believe   and it's better to cement this in our minds   than to let it die and leave it all behind
