Lyrics
When you stand too close to the flame
It's your own fault, no one else is to blame
There's no sense in fooling yourself with lies
Self-gratifying, self-justifying lies
When you fly too close to the sun
Just be aware of the risks that you run
So-called friends are waiting to shoot you down
Watch your wings crumbling as you come tumbling down
I won't let them get me
I know what I have to do now
All because I came
Too close to the flame
I will miss the softness of skin
That moment when conversations begin
Capturing the beauty of someone new
Helping and healing, that's a good feeling too
Yes, I stood too close to the flame
But let me say, I'm not dying of shame
I don't think I did anybody harm
Did what I could, so maybe some good, no harm
This is very easy
Hope I haven't disappointed
But you see, I came
Too close to the flame
Found me guilty, as I knew they would
British justice, envied everywhere
Too late, though, to save the government
Which, it seems to me, is only fair
Now I'm in the House of Wax instead of paradise
A forty-carat bonafide human sacrifice
