Down In Flames

(album: Shake Me Up - 1991)

Sister sister, she rides so easily
Like some sidewalk angel, like a sail out on the sea
Far out on my horizon, she slips away from me

Here with my momento and her air of mystery
One high heeled stiletto what did she ever mean to?
A touch of nails of crimson, from some vision in the night
Slowly fading out of sight

I sure hate to see her leaving
Sure hate to see her go
What will I ever do without her
I just don't know

She said we were in love last night
In love with no last name
Last night the fire was burning bright now I'm going down
Going down in flames

Sister sister, did you even feel the heat?
Your kisses felt so gently, like the rain falls on the street
I still feel the fire, I'll never lose that memory
It'll always be with me

I sure hate to see her leaving
Sure do hate to see her go
What will I ever do without her
I just don't know

She said we were in love last night
A love with no last name
So I let her build that fire so bright now I'm going down
Going down in flames

We said we were in love last night
Caught up in our own games
Last night I felt the fire so bright
Now I'm going down, going down

Said we were in love last night
Now nothing seems the same
So I let her build that fire so bright
Now we're going down, going down in flames
