Hit me up by the fire escape It's been 40 nights and 40 days
And I've become uncertain in a cosmic way
I drew my fingers to the bone today, oh Won't you come around, meet me by the fire escape
Untied, yes, tied, tongue tied
Is it that I wanna say? Is it that I really wanna say?
What are the words I've been choking on hoping someone will articulate?
Oh no, let's say
Turkey water
Alright, we're in the trenches now
I don't know when the party's over
All I know is I'm getting out so now
What a fever dream
Meet me out by the fire escape
Join the procession down the alleyway
Freedom's a joke and we got debts to pay
How many waves until the levee breaks?
Won't you come around, meet me by the fire escape
Untied, yes, tied, tongue tied
Is it that we wanna say? Is it that we really wanna say?
What are the truths we've been choking on hoping someone will articulate?
Oh no, let's say
Turkey water
Alright, we're in the trenches now
I don't know how the story ends
Cause the stages just turn over and then turn over again
And the tensions always are slighted just around the bend
And the outcome doesn't match, reads what it is that I intend
Like a stack of books that grows and gathers dust beside the bed
Or the disconnect between what people do and what they've said
And I wanna read the news, maybe without losing my head
Oh, what a fever dream
Oh, what a fever dream
Meet me out at the fire escape
It's been forty nights and forty days
And I've become uncertain in a cosmic way
But your finger is at home today
