St. Anthony’s Fire

[Verse 1]
I know you're lonely
I watched you walk like a ghost out into the street
You left sparks in the night
Your movements left traces
Dispersed through a prism of light

[Chorus]
St. Anthony's fire
Chased down the village by
A swarm of bees

[Verse 2]
Your diaries are bound with Chinese silk
And wrapped in red ribbons
You float outside
My window held up by the pull of the moon on the tide

[Chorus]
St. Anthony's fire
Chased from your house by
A poltergeist
