Set Me On Fire

You’ll go even higher
Higher than I lay
here inside the cold
And I hope you’ll aspire
To bigger things one day
The promise that you hold
Set me on fire
And look another way
Don’t stare into the flames
‘Cause as long as I burn
I’ll keep us warm
My ashes
will remain
To scatter round the plains
But as long as I’m here
Set me on fire
Set me on fire and let me burn
Set me on fire
What difference does it make?
Why would you hesitate?
Tied to the witch’s stake
Promise you won’t be late
God only knows I’m
fake
Rotten morose and late
Burn me for goodness sake
Burn me for goodness sake
Cause all that I do seems to be wrong
And I resort to this
My desire
Set me on fire
And look another way
Don’t stare into the flames
‘Cause as long as I burn
I’ll keep us warm
My ashes will remain
To scatter round the plains
But as long as I’m here
Set me on fire
Set me on fire and let me burn
Set me on fire
What difference does it make?
Why would you hesitate?
Tied to the witch’s stake
Promise you won’t be late
God only
knows I’m fake
Rotten morose and late
Burn me for goodness sake
Burn me for goodness sake
Cause all that I knew seems to be gone
And I resort to this
My desire
Just set me on fire
And look another way
Don’t stare into the flames
‘Cause as long as I burn
I’ll keep us warm
My ashes will remain
