Up in Smoke
© A. Zoli & M. Hart 2014 (ASCAP)
Fire burning red
Fire burning black
Take what you can carry and don’t look back
Ash in the air
Blood on my tongue
Never thought I’d be the one to die young
Take my soul
Take my money
You’re gonna need every bit of me honey
If we get out of here
You best think fast
Crazy kind of love like ours don’t last
It's going up, it's going up
Up in smoke
We’re going up, we’re going up
Up in smoke
You treated me like cocaine honey, a drug you could abuse
And I craved you just like heroin, or a dance with a hangman’s noose
We made the heat beneath the sheets, you were the match and I was the fuse
You lit me up every single time
That I lay down with you
It's going up and up and up and up and up
Up in smoke
We’re going up and up and up and up and up
Up in smoke
And I warned you not to trust me; I told you I’d be cruel
You needed reassuring that I couldn't give to you
And now you’re bleeding baby; pleading me to come and rescue you
But I ain't got time to be your savior boy
My house is burning down too
It's going up in up in up in up in up in up in up in
Up in smoke
We’re going up in up in up in up in up in up in up in
Up in smoke
I ain't got time to be your savior boy
My house is burning down too
