Shemekia Copeland - Such a Pretty Flame Lyrics

Lyrics Such a Pretty Flame - Shemekia Copeland



Wrap my dreams in pretty paper
Then I lit a match
Stared into the flames
Until I saw 'em catch
When in picture of a couple
Man's arm around a girl melts away
Red light runs up the curtains
Snakes on down the hall
Straight into my bedroom
Painted roses on the wall
Such a pretty flame
Such a pretty flame
Lit up the whole town
Burned it all down, such a pretty flame
Fire starts with matches
Or a cigarette
But nothing burns hotter
Than your own regrets
One day they start to simmer
Then you see the spark flicker inside
Was it all an accident
Simple twist of fate?
The only thing for sure
It was ten years late
Such a pretty flame
Such a pretty flame
Lit up the whole town
Burned it all down. such a pretty flame
Such a pretty flame
Such a pretty flame
Such a pretty flame
When the smoke has lifted
Up into the sky
We rise up from the ashes
And give it one more try
And if we never find out
What this life's about?
Let's dance around the flames
Before they all go out
Such a pretty flame
Such a pretty flame
Such a pretty flame
Such a pretty flame
Such a pretty flame
We lit the whole town
Burned it all down, such a pretty flame
Such a pretty flame
Such a pretty flame
Such a pretty flame
