Max Sharam, Sol Seppy - Can I Catch Fire? lyrics

Has The Fire arrived in town yet?
You haven't seen him well I can't miss my jet
All I've left is my ticket and song
So if you see him, I've gone
Our patterns crossed the desert
Like snaketracks in the sand
We entwined for nights, a lifespan
And four years of travelling traced my ideal
And I knew it was he when he carried me
From my perch on the windowsill
My Nightingale sing, that's what he said
When he layed me down on the big feather bed
And he loved me for hours, for on and forever
My desert red lion, you're ever so clever
Can I keep your fire burning
With the spark in my eye?
Can I leave even once without saying goodbye?

Can I catch fire? (Can I catch fire)
Can I catch fire? (Can I catch fire)
Can I catch fire? (Can I catch fire)
Can I catch fire? (Can I catch fire)

So I pushed those four years
On the Trolley to check in
(I pushed back the tears)
"I've gone, " so go, forget him
It seemed all we ever said was goodbye
We'd meet and we would ponder
Then we'd wonder why
But as I sat in the room for the waiting
Patiently, anticipating
I bent down to whisper the word
And he had purchased a ticket
To fly with his bird

My Nightingale sing (that's what he said)
When he layed me down on the big feather bed
"And I'm yours for as long as
You want me" he said
Well I've been yours since the feather bed
Can I catch fire?
Can I catch fire? (I'm burning inside)
Can I catch fire?
Can I catch fire? (I'm burning inside)

Well the desert has sandstorms
And whirlwinds and sun and patterns
Snakes make in the sand when they run
Well the desert has sandstorms
And whirlwinds and sun and patterns
Snakes make in the sand when they run
Well the desert has sandstorms
And whirlwinds and sun and patterns
Snakes make in the sand when they run

Can I catch fire? (Can I catch fire)
Can I catch fire? (Can I catch fire)
Can I catch fire? (Can I catch fire)
Can I catch fire? (Can I catch fire)

I'm burning inside

Well fireman, fireman, call the fireman
I'm gonna BURN burning inside
Can I catch fire? (Can I catch fire)
Can I catch fire? (Can I catch fire)
Can I catch fire? (Can I catch fire)
Can I catch fire? (Can I catch fire)

"My Nightingale, " that's what he said
