Fire and Wishes

Lyrics:

Disaster,
How could that villain ask her
To wear a dress of stars and sunlight to the ball?
We all know the story's so old,

Go faster,
She loved the dancing master,
And when she steps out on the dancing floor she falls,
She's burning but thinks she's too cold,

"Open your eyes, there are plenty of bridges,
We'll burn them when we get to them, fire and wishes,
You make disguises that blaze in their stitches
and fade away to nothing but fire and wishes,"

Oh can you take my emotions?

Delightful
But oh the river's frightful
She tries to sew a pathway over out of thread
And mothers and fathers and flames,

Just leave her,
She's in a fairy fever
And won't stop dancing till the dress itself is dead
Or maybe she'll always stay the same

"Open your eyes, there are plenty of bridges,
We'll burn them when we get to them, fire and wishes,
For all of your tries, you've got nothing but misses,
can't bear to let your body touch fire and wishes..."

Oh can you take my emotions?
Oh can you take my emotions?
Oh can you take my emotions?

Disaster
How could her cold catastrophe
be worse than this
Than this

"Open your eyes...open your eyes...
...for all of your tries, can't open your eyes..."

Oh can you take my emotions away?
