Set Yourself On Fire - Charlotte Gainsbourg

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

Fire

Fire
