Set the World on Fire
When you're going down some road too slow
And the coffee in your cup is cold
And the moves you make aren't so bold
Give it up
And when the world you see is not the one you want
And the job you've got requires undue diligence
And the one you love reminds you more than once
To give it up.
But you thought that you were in control
Thought you had another string to pull
Well, you walked the walk and you talked the talk
Till you ran out of luck
Can't set the world on fire when it's burning up
Once you dreamed of oysters and worlds
Once you showered pigs with pearls
Now you're down to asking blind squirrels
Where's the nuts?
No, this ain't what you learned in school
You didn't know that the world could be cruel
Chasing flames is never ever gonna make you cool
You can't set the world on fire, it's burning up
And the coffee in your cup is cold
And the moves you make aren't so bold
Give it up
And when the world you see is not the one you want
And the job you've got requires undue diligence
And the one you love reminds you more than once
To give it up.
But you thought that you were in control
Thought you had another string to pull
Well, you walked the walk and you talked the talk
Till you ran out of luck
Can't set the world on fire when it's burning up
Once you dreamed of oysters and worlds
Once you showered pigs with pearls
Now you're down to asking blind squirrels
Where's the nuts?
No, this ain't what you learned in school
You didn't know that the world could be cruel
Chasing flames is never ever gonna make you cool
You can't set the world on fire, it's burning up
