Set Yourself On Fire

Let's roll

In a village in the hills house buried to the window sills in snow

In a prison yard at night an Alsatian barking for the stars to go

In the attic of a house in the slats of light which creep across the room

In a forest grove at dawn where the animals sleep hidden in the gloom

On the 97th floor overlooking Tokyo

In Camden road in a second floor flat with dilworth down below

There is only one thing

There is only one thing

In a cancer ward where the patients sit waiting patiently to die

In an aeroplane high above the place you finally left behind

In a cage where only one thing could be free and it's not you and I

In a cage where only one thing could be free and it's not you and I

In every single place that has ever ever been

Hiroshima, Los Angeles and each town in between

There is only one thing

There is only one thing, one thing

In the darkest part of you that you have ever seen

In the smile of the child staring at the TV screen

In the diary of a priest in the sheets that lie upon his bed

Out there amongst the waves and inside your lover's head

There is only one thing

There is only one thing

There is only one thing

There is only one thing

There is only one thing

There is only one thing

There is only one thing

20 years asleep before we sleep forever

20 years asleep before we sleep forever

10 years on the coast figurin' out the weather

Another 10 years gettin' high until you're free

There's nothing after that but you and I

Nothing after that but you and me

20 years asleep before we sleep forever

20 years asleep before we sleep forever
