Lyrics Todd Rundgren – Smoke

It happened so fast
The blink of an eye
I never intended to
Go flying so high

Tried to stay cool
But the heat just get higher
Trapped in a tinderbox
Of rage and desire
The friction was so intense
Then we caught fire

We were aflame
Starshine was here to stay
Then it faded away
And it all went up in smoke
Life was cherries flambe
But that was so yesterday
Then it all went up in smoke

Now here am I
Kicking the ashes
Of a memory gone by
Things got too serious
Then they caught fire

Now I’ve been burned
I’m a bit wiser
A place in the shade
Is all I require
Yet I’m still hypnotized
When I see fire

We were aflame
Starshine was here to stay
Then it faded away
And it all went up in smoke
Life was cherries flambe
But that was so yesterday
Then it all went up in smoke

It all went up in smoke
All went up in smoke
All went up in smoke
All went up in smoke
Then it all went up in smoke
Then it all went up in smoke

We were aflame
Starshine was here to stay
Then it faded away
And it all went up in smoke
Life was cherries flambe
But that was so yesterday
Then it all went up in smoke
Then it all went up in smoke
Then it all went up in smoke
