Lyrical Transcription: Official lyrics from Vertigo liner notes

The islands off the coast are on fire
Yellow and crimson
Just beyond calico beach
The fire's ascension
Of gasoline burn red and green
Is like the blazing corona of a midnight sun

Under the angeldust and the terminus
The heavens have already been turned
Caught in the circling eye of a cloudy high
Is the feeling that I'm gonna get burned

The islands off the coast are on fire
Orange and violet
Standing on a thundering beach
Frozen in silence
The rising sound of burning ground
Is like the carbon echo of a smoking gun

Under the angeldust and the terminus
The heavens have already been turned
Caught in the circling eye of a cloudy high
Is the feeling that I'm gonna get burned


Just beyond the solution
Of rolling seas and pollution
Salted hands salted lashes
Salted wings turned to ashes

Please come down
Please come down
Please come down

Standing on a turpentine beach
The sky's growing blacker
The imagery seems clear to me
A glowing symbol of danger on the horizon

Under the angel dust and the terminus
The heavens have already been turned
Caught in the circling eye of a cloudy high
Is the feeling that I'm gonna get burned

Please come down
