Jack's Mannequin - Platform Fire Lyrics

I tore up like your navy 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'll talk me through
Bright lights on platform fire
I'm a man on a wire, you're here for the view

Scattered in the mist, I'm moving
It's getting hard for you to watch
You're under pressure when I'm feeling weightless

Up where tensions aren't computing
Where I've 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'll talk me through
Yeah, you'll talk me through

Bright lights on 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 is clear

Tore up like your navy blue jeans
I was stepping through a fog

Stories stacked up so tall
And you don't talk me down, you'll talk me through
Yeah, just like you always do

Bright lights on 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 on platform fire
I'm a man on a wire, you'll talk me through
