Lighting the Torch - Barn Fires Version

You gave me your number, now I'm back to take your name
You can try to blow me off - you'll only fan the flame
Cause I'm a feral dog and I will bark and bite and cry
Hoping to be scolded and then let inside

But I only want the wanting
The lighting of the torch
And when I'm done it's time to find another peaceful earth
To scorch

It's funny how you see yourself as not so far from me
The time out in the yard each day assures you that you're free
And when I reach the sun you'll turn your blinded eyes away
And tread that withered ground until your final day

I only want the wanting
The lighting of the torch
And when I'm done it's time to find another peaceful earth
To scorch

I only want the wanting
The lighting of the torch
And when I'm done it's time to find another earth to scorch
There'll always be more kindling
More fools to let me in
I recognize their weakness and they justify my sin
I only want the wanting
You'll never hold me down
No shelter's ever warm enough till I burn it to the ground
You'll always be my kindling
The fool who let me in
I strike a match and tell myself I'll never freeze again
(Oooohs)
