Set Yourself On Fire (Live)
Now come and stand
see the sights and warm your hands
and fan the flame inside of me
Been burning all my life
so come and set my house alight
yeah, come and set my spirit free
Now all is ashes
this moribund parade of asses
so shake it one more time for me
So take these matches off of me
and set yourself on fire
Fire
Coffee at the floor
it seemed just like the day before
the waiter winked and smiled at me
The couple at the bar
he burned his britches, she burned her bra
now somebody has burned the car
Sulphur in the air
and cracks appearing everywhere
don't try to stop it, don't you dare
Now see,
that everything must fall that we may live again
So take these matches off of me
and set yourself on fire
Fire
Fire
Fire
Now it's so clear to me
this bonfire of the vanities
so come on everybody, scream
A purifying flame
and you and I can take the blame
a spirit that cannot be tamed
Now see,
that everything must fall that we may live again
So take these matches off of me
and set yourself on fire
Fire
Fire
Fire
Fire
Fire
Fire
Fire
see the sights and warm your hands
and fan the flame inside of me
Been burning all my life
so come and set my house alight
yeah, come and set my spirit free
Now all is ashes
this moribund parade of asses
so shake it one more time for me
So take these matches off of me
and set yourself on fire
Fire
Coffee at the floor
it seemed just like the day before
the waiter winked and smiled at me
The couple at the bar
he burned his britches, she burned her bra
now somebody has burned the car
Sulphur in the air
and cracks appearing everywhere
don't try to stop it, don't you dare
Now see,
that everything must fall that we may live again
So take these matches off of me
and set yourself on fire
Fire
Fire
Fire
Now it's so clear to me
this bonfire of the vanities
so come on everybody, scream
A purifying flame
and you and I can take the blame
a spirit that cannot be tamed
Now see,
that everything must fall that we may live again
So take these matches off of me
and set yourself on fire
Fire
Fire
Fire
Fire
Fire
Fire
Fire
