Antic Clay Thousand Star Hotel
Well, tonight we sleep in a thousand star hotel Among the stars and where they fell through the turning sky Where the twilight creeps in slow motion carousel Our thousand star hotel where fire flies I know that you're scared that I'm gonna hurt you I know that you're thinking I'm a little too sad and wild And I ain't saying that I'm some paragon of virtue But neither are you child. I see it in your smile. Well it's not my fault God put you there when I was starving But maybe now you'll know what they mean when they say "saved." And there's lots of folks who don't die, but just stop living. And I've always had the feeling that both our paths were paved. And tonight we sleep in a thousand star hotel Among the stars and where they fell through the burning sky Where the twilight creeps in a slo-mo carousel It's a thousand star hotel where fire flies I'm done with imagining how brilliantly we'd burn It's my imagination that's kept me still this long. I want to see you gasp and rise and suddenly turn to me and whisper something--something scarily strong. Well you're a candle of a girl--you light the world and consume yourself. I want to take your hand little girl and show you a truer wealth. And tonight we sleep in a thousand star hotel among the stars and where they fell through the churning sky and the lights do creep in slow motion carousel. It's our thousand star hotel, with fireflies.
