The bottle hits the spotlight
and explodes into a fire
We're all following you, baby
Cause we're sure you'll take us higher

There's a woman weaving back and forth beside me
trying her hardest not to fall
She's going down. She hits the ground
No one seems to care at all

BRIDGE:
There's people dying everywhere
while they're simply standing still
In the arena of the soul
it's all the gladiator's kill
and we love to watch

CHORUS:
You say you'll take me somewhere
But where are you going tonight
Cause if you're heading into the darkness again
I think I'd rather stay in the light

Passion and the smell of smoke
are a worn out blanket for our fears
They're an attempt to exorcise the pain
That's been within us all these years

Then there's the primitive game of boy meets girl
in a sea of alcohol
In their sex they try to stay afloat
while their spirits take a fall

BRIDGE
CHORUS
