Paul Epworth - Fire Escape lyrics

[Hook] I like to stick to walls Observing conversations and lifting them when they fall I am a fire escape, my spine's made of iron My heart pumps that old red paint Save yourself, save yourself, yourself Save yourself, save yourself [Verse 2] 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 wave you down at stopping signs [Hook] Save yourself, save your yourself, yourself Save yourself, save yourself [Verse 3] Los Angeles, I've been waiting for you To pick yourself up and change The city you've made, this ocean and sand Is founded on liars and self made men I've watched the dreamers find their legs And I've seen the ones that come get reduced to bones and rags Cause I am a fire escape, my spine is made of iron My heart pumps that old red paint
