CHARLOTTE GAINSBOURG LYRICS - Set Yourself On Fire

"Set Yourself On Fire"



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 [x7]
