Lyrics

Spark to tinder, smoke to fire
The runner cries
The dancing flames reduce to nothing many lives
From grin to smile to laugh
The imp stares transfixed from afar

Brick through the glass, hand through the window
And inside
Foot to the floor, the engine roars, two worlds collide
Ninety miles an hour down crowded streets
With flashing blue behind

(Chorus)
The ice is melting
The stasis breaking
This could be anywhere today
The concrete's growing
All around them
Closing in and tightening its grip
Before they cart their youth away
