lyrics

From this height, her procession is a thread of light
Pale and gossamer and tethering the Upper West Side
We set aflame, we light on fire everything invisible
Our prayers ascend, aloft on wires
The siren call of satellites

Our beauty is our light from balcony to reprise

Hold your breath, we're umbilical, letting go and spreading wings
In the dark, you my poison wine, draw the shades and drown me slowly
We set aflame, we light on fire every mile unreachable
Our limbs extend, our bodies tire, the concrete pulls us all inside

Our beauty is our light from balcony to reprise
In love and alive, our beauty is our life

From this height, we all fall down
