Fire Escape Lyrics

Foster The People Fire Escape

I like to stick to walls
Observing conversations
Lifting them when they fall

I am a fire escape
My spine is made of iron
My heart pumps out old red paint

Save yourself, save yourself yourself
Save yourself, save yourself

I see the seasons change
All the young faces come
And replace the dying ones
Sit out on Lexington and Vine
All the pimps and prostitutes
Waving down stopping signs

Save yourself, save yourself yourself
Save yourself, save yourself

I'll send you this sign
I've waited for you
To pick yourself up and change
This city you've made
Who's oceans and sand
Were founded by liars and self made men

I've seen the dreamers find their legs
And I've seen the ones who come
And get reduced to bones and rags

I am a fire escape
My spine is made of iron
My heart pumps out old red paint
