Flaming Doves

from Open Hearts Open Minds by This Mad Desire

/

lyrics

Oceans are rising, COVID’s taking a friend
And the man shouting at the corner
Holds a sign that proclaims the end
I wrote you a letter that I knew I’d never send.
Dream to end confusion, a love that never ends

The vampires and the flaming doves
A thousand different kinds of love
She said she came from the Lord above
To burn their cars and drink their blood
Fire always comes before the flood

The wolf followed me home last night
Snarling and scratching at my door
I camped out on the rooftop
I don’t feel safe here anymore
These psychotic invocations are not your answered prayers
The wolf that chased you home last night still howls beneath the stairs

The vampires and the flaming doves
A thousand different kinds of love
She said she came from the Lord above
To burn their cars and drink their blood
Fire always comes before the flood
Champagne-swilling bleeding hearts
Never realize this is how it starts
Politicians and their boys that all play cops
Are they the wolves that time forgot?
Forgot

Oceans are rising, COVID’s taking a friend
And the man shouting at the corner
Holds a sign that proclaims the end
I wrote you a letter that I knew I’d never send.
Dream to end confusion, a love that never ends

The vampires and the flaming doves
A thousand different kinds of love
She said she came from the Lord above
To burn their cars and drink their blood
Fire always comes before the flood

Over the mountain and through the air
They will feel as though we are no longer there
With your raygun eyes and purple dreams
We will take their prisoners and we will set them free
