Smoke
[Verse 1]
We have been so fast, the blink of an eye
I never intended to go flying so high
Nothing was serious then it caught fire

[Verse 2]
We tried to stay cool but the heat just got higher
Trapped in a tinderbox of raging desire
The friction was so intense then we caught fire

[Chorus]
We were aflame, star shine was here to stay
Then it faded away
And it all went up in smoke
But life was cherries flambe
But that was so yesterday
Then it all went up in smoke

[Verse 3]
Now here am I kicking the ashes
Of a memory gone by
Things got too serious then they caught fire
Now I've been burned, I'm a bit wiser
A place in the shade is all I require
Yet I'm still hypnotized when I see fire
[Chorus]
We were aflame, star shine was here to stay
Then it faded away
Then it all went up in smoke
Life was cherries one day
But that was so yesterday
Then it all went up in smoke
It all went up in smoke
All went up in smoke
All went up in smoke
All went up in smoke
Then it all went up in smoke
Then it all went up in smoke

[Chorus]
We were aflame, star shine was here to stay
Then it faded away
And it all went up in smoke
Life was cherries that day
But that was so yesterday
Then it all went up in smoke
Then it all went up in smoke
Then it all went up in smoke
