Stars - Set Yourself On Fire lyrics
[Stars - Set Yourself On Fire lyrics]
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
Twenty years asleep before we sleep forever
Twenty years asleep before we sleep forever
Ten years on the coast
Figuring out the weather
Another decade getting high until you're free
There's nothing after that but you and I
Nothing after that but you and me
Twenty years asleep before we sleep forever
Twenty years asleep before we sleep forever
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
Twenty years asleep before we sleep forever
Twenty years asleep before we sleep forever
Ten years on the coast
Figuring out the weather
Another decade getting high until you're free
There's nothing after that but you and I
Nothing after that but you and me
Twenty years asleep before we sleep forever
Twenty years asleep before we sleep forever
