Charlotte Gainsbourg

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 (7x)
