lyrics

THE STARS THAT BURN
(from "When the High Bell Rings," 2007)

I'm standing in the doorway of the doorway of the moon
And it's glowing ever brighter like a rocket or a spoon
And the fire that is burning burns from faraway
You can smell the fiery ashes of the stars that burn today

The stars that burn today, some were friends and some were not
Some were beautiful and proud and deserved all they got
Some are burning now, and some are burning still
But the flames and fire never end and never will

I'm drowning in the basement of an old abandoned church
And the flood, it's arising and it's only getting worse
And the wind, the wind is howling but you can hear what they say
In the thunder, the evil chatter of the stars that burn today

The stars that burn today, they vamp in the night
Preposterous and freaked out and full of bad fright
Glow worms on the catwalk ooze glamorously
In the bilely heavens you can feel their disease

about

Flaming Fire

"Flaming Fire’s frontman, Patrick Hambrecht, and his wife, Kate (who sings backup), are preachers’ children who seem as if they accidentally wandered onto the set of a Kenneth Anger film and decided to stay. The Hambrechts are waiting for the apocalypse, and their version of “Whiskey River” is the soundtrack to its aftermath." - Rachel Kushner, Author of "The Flame Throwers," New York Times ... more
