I’m Going to Heaven with or Without You (The Forest Fire)

Lyrics

...morally neutral, and unimaginably violent.​ On the day Chicago locked his doors for good Our headless chickens pushed and pecked along their southbound route They cluck the atrocity, their beaks are posturing At an old vampire: a forest fire Any day, the windy city's gonna blow it out for you I'll keep a horseshoe on my step, I'll keep a cross around my neck Draping garlic over our beds All good luck, amulets, and aids will dab your forehead Keep you safe from the forest fire rage Our fine crystal will ching, we'll drink to anything If it keeps the tires moving, keeps commuting smooth for you And I'm drawing a bloodbath with or without you And on the day the fire nibbled your neighborhood Regard your brimstone as if it were gravestone and the blaze we blow loose Our cottage knees shaking, the flames were giggling And the embers beaming; its chest, it's beating That little house we've made gets gobbled up by flames And I'll mash my foot down on the gas of any black cat that cross my path Than to risk it or to lay them in my lap We keep our umbrellas down here, we toss the salt behind our ears 'Cause the good looks weren't worth our seven years With tightly coiled springs that snap for anything We're gonna keep a lighter to it even while it burns for you And I'm going to heaven with or without you I'll keep a horseshoe on my step, I'll keep a cross around my neck Draping garlic over our beds All ladder legs we walk around, no burning flags will touch the ground With the same one that our cracks we've found, and I swear to God I'll bury a bible in these halls and I'll bury a black cat between the walls Good luck, Godspeed, God damn you all God damn you all God damn you all God damn you all God damn you all
