Verse 1 The moon is watching hungry like a spotlight on the snow I’m prowling down the street where the broken lovers go No leather on my shoulders, I left it in the past I’m walking into winter, and I saved the best for last. The frost is trying to touch me, to freeze me to the bone But I’ve got a fever, baby, like nothing you have known My skin is glowing red against the white and drifting plain I’m naked in the silence, I’m burning in the rain. Pre-Chorus Look at the heat rising like a dream! The snowflakes kiss my chest and turn to steam! I see the smoke rising from your chimney stack I’m a wild fire coming, and there ain't no turning back! Chorus I’m bringing it home! Through the ice and the stone! One last package for the love I’ve known! I don't need armor, honey, I don't need a shield I’m the only fire in this frozen field! Yeah, the air is zero but the body burns This is the point of no return! (Whoa-oh-oh-oh!) Verse 2 I tore the final chapter right out of the page I walked away from glory, I walked off of the stage This box is wrapped in velvet, it’s heavy in my hand A secret I kept hidden across this empty land. You kept the embers waiting, I can smell the wood and pine But darling, come to the window, see how I shine I didn't come for shelter, I didn't come to sleep I came to give you promises I swore that I would keep. Pre-Chorus The night is screaming like a guitar lead But I’m alive enough to wake the dead I see the door handle turning in the light A naked soul in the dead of the night! Chorus I’m bringing it home! Through the ice and the stone! One last package for the love I’ve known! I don't need armor, honey, I don't need a shield I’m the only fire in this frozen field! Yeah, the air is zero but the body burns This is the point of no return! Bridge Maybe it’s a diamond! Maybe it’s the truth! Maybe it’s the wasted beauty of our youth! Come take it from my fingers, before I melt the fuse Touch me while I'm burning... I’ve got nothing left to lose! Chorus I’m bringing it home! Through the ice and the stone! One last package for the love I’ve known! I don't need armor, honey, I don't need a shield I’m the only fire in this frozen field! Yeah, the air is zero but the body burns This is the point of no return! Outro Yeah, the body burns... Open the door.
