Step Down From The Stratosphere

The world could drown
In its suffering
Give up its universal crown
Step down from the stratosphere

Fires could rage through the city streets
As long as I could drink from your heart
Escape the rising smoke by pure will
And the door to my freedom is clearly marked

All along it wasn't such a damaged life
As long as I could always leave town
And the bottles rolled through
Me sitting next to you

The strange path between you and I
Just as the sun would set
The night would steal
The trials and tribulations of the day

If your heart finds itself next to me
Don't break down and cry
Something in your last sigh
Don't break down and cry

If your latest plans seem absent of me
There is nothing that I can do
Except break a rule or two
In the early morning light
