The Triffids - Hometown Farewell Kiss lyrics

My eyes are filled with light My feet can't touch the ground From up here I can see the sight Of my hometown city burning down Now it blazes for me house by house And my legs they buckle under me But I don't mind, t sing the old song of joy For I know why and why it had to be Higher, let the flames grow higher Erase my name from your lips as we kiss Higher, let the flames grow higher Now there's one soul less on your fiery list Now there's one soul less on your fiery list Now I drive familiar smoky streets I know this town, I know where to turn All the while I kept a road map in my head I just came back to see the people and their houses burn One soul less on your fiery list Hometown farewell This is my homekown farewell kiss
