Kiss Me on the Fire Escape - Rhett Miller, Black Prairie

Kiss me on the fire escape

Roll me on the floor

Take me to the brink I can’t take no more

This ain’t never going to end

At least I hope it don’t

You say never let go and you know I won’t

Kiss me on the fire escape

Tell me that I’m swell

I say «Honey, you’re not so bad yourself»

I’m the king of understated

Half the time I’m blind

I was a heavy thinker til you blew my mind

You ain’t never gonna stop

At least that’s what you say

I tell you «Never let go» and you say you’ll stay

Kiss me on the fire escape

Tell me that I’m swell

I say «Honey, you’re not so bad yourself»

You and me we are just people in a song

I was afriad of heights until you came along

You and me we are just people in a song

I was afraid of heights until you came along

Kiss me on the fire escape

But baby don’t look down

We’re so high up you can’t see the ground

I don’t ever want to leave

But checkout time is noon

I’ll go as long as I can go with you

Kiss me on the fire escape

Tell me that I’m swell

I say «Honey, you’re not so bad yourself»

Honey you’re not so bad yourself

Honey you’re not so bad yourself
