Platform Fire Lyrics - People & Things - Jack's Mannequin

Tore up like your baby blue jeans 

I was stepping through a fog 

Under pressure, but I'm feeling weightless 

Can't let heaven's pin-striped shooting 

Leave you carrying a cross 

Across the desert when you're feeling faithless 

After all, this haze is only temporary 

Laughter falls on deaf ears in the auditorium 

Stories stacked up so tall 

And you don't talk me down 

You're talking me through 

Bright lights our platform fire 

I'm a man on a wire 

You're here for the view 

Scattered in the mist, unmoving 

It's getting hard for you to watch 

Me under pressure when I'm feeling weightless 

Up where tensions aren't computing 

No, I have never fallen off 

I guess I'd like to think your worry's wasted 

Worry's wasted on me 

After all, this haze may not be temporary 

I heard you call 

From the back row of the auditorium 

Stories stacked up so tall 

And you don't talk me down 

You're talking me through 

(yeah you're talking through) 

Bright lights our platform fire 

I'm a man on a wire, 

You're here for the view 

I'm a man on a wire, 

You're here for the view 

So tell me what you think 

When you see me there. 

And tell me what you see 

When the smoke has cleared 

Tore up like your baby blue jeans 

I was stepping through a fog 

Stories stacked up so tall 

And you don't talk me down 

You're talking me through 

Yeah, just like you always do 

Bright lights our platform fire 

I'm a man on a wire, 

You're here for the view 

I'm a man on a wire, 

You're here for the view 

Bright lights our platform fire 

I'm a man on a wire 

You're talking me through...
