paroles de chanson 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
