SWALLOW FIRE
my black jacket don't make me no streetfighter
your long fingernails don't make you no movie star
we better shed our skins, find out who we're hiding
I don't think I want to take the waiting anymore

(chorus)
if you're afraid to fall you'll never walk the wire
if you're afraid to burn you'll never swallow fire
you'll never swallow fire

you don't have to be the hush hush around this town
you don't need those kind of people pounding at your door
you don't have to carry the world upon your skinny shoulders
you don't need to be your daddy's barbie doll no more

(chorus)

and if you're afraid to drown you'll never walk on water
you must want to be something more than just a rich man's daughter

(chorus)

there's a circus playing on the edge of town tonight
we can go and watch the clowns bleed by moonlight
we'll climb in my dark car and drive, won't even think about where we're going
just like the river tells us flowing, we're better off not knowing

(chorus)
