The World's On Fire
The World's On Fire
and it's too close to the wire

The World's On Fire
The World's On Fire
and it's too close to expire

too close
too close
too close to the wire

your world's on fire
you're so special
you're so special
you're so special
you're so special
why aren't you dead?!

three, two, one, zero

The World's On Fire
The World's On Fire

The World's On Fire
The World's On Fire
and it's too close to expire

too close
too close
too close to the wire

Another constellation dies
Do what you want, 'cause it's your own sky
Just call me when the phone stops ringin'
Thanks for coming by
I'm just glad I'm on your good side
Where it's smoldering or freezing
It's never all that easy to decide

This is the land of a thousand words
But it seems so few are worth the breath to say
Except I'll be looking after my own world
And you just keep on saving the day
I'll try to stay but it's in vain when you're far
I'm on the run to wherever you are

And that's the nature of the chase
You fall so far behind you end up in first place
Pass the torch, this time we're running
To each's own regret
There's no harm in playing hard to get
Boundlessness deceives me
And baby, you may turn the corner yet

This is the land of a thousand words
But it seems so few are worth the breath to say
Except I'll be looking after my own world
And you just keep on saving the day
I'll try to stay but it's in vain when you're far
I'm on the run to wherever you are
I'm on the run to wherever you are

(I'm a gonna do everything I say
But time is running out
And now I'm on my way)

To wherever you are

(I'm a gonna do everything I say
But time is running out
And now I'm on my way)

To wherever you are

(I'm a gonna do everything I say
But time is running out
And now I'm on my way)

To wherever you are

(I'm a gonna do everything I say
But time is running out
And now I'm on my way)

Laura, can't you give me some time?
I got to give myself one more chance.
To be the man that I know I am.
To be the man that I know I am.

Won't you just tell Cincinnati..
I'm gonna need your love.
Don't you give me your love?
Don't you give me your..

Frida, can't you spare me a dime?
I got to give myself one more chance.
To ring the band that I know I'm in.
To ring the band that I know I'm in.

Why don't he give me his love?

This'll be the last time..
I ever do your hair.
One face among the many..
I never thought you cared.
This'll be the last time..
I ever do your hair.

No pussyfootin' or that look of surprise
Can't hide the holes in your eyes or cover up that bitter smile
All the birds can see that you're heading south
That mirror deep in your mouth reflects you running on for miles

When you cut the lights out think of me
When you cut the lights out think of all the things you can't see
But are they real?
That face will be revealed

Nobody's callin' that payphone in your mind
I wonder just what they find but the line's busy all the time
I ain't got nothing but your seed on my face
Youll pull them babies to waste without your finger in the pie

When you cut the lights out think of me
When you cut the lights out think of all the things you can't see
But are they real?
That face will be revealed

My mamma told me one thing I'll remember 'till I die
The one you want the most will be the one that you defy
The times they're gonna love you
Like stitches in the scar
You can never run from trouble
'Cause there ain't no place that far

When you cut the lights out think of me
When you cut the lights out think of all the things you can't see
But are they real?
That face will be revealed

You say you see what's under me
That the gloss has washed away
But you're the one whose colour's gone
From love to dirty grey
Questions come alive in the middle of the day
Over and over again
Watch me start a fire in the middle of your shade
That's why I'm telling you I'm gonna

Kiss you off my lips
I don't need another tube of that dime store lipstick
Well I think I'm gonna buy me a brand new shade of man
Kiss you off my lips
It's standing room only for a piece of my pigment
So excuse me a minute while I supply demand
Kiss you off these lips of mine
Kiss you off for a custom shine
Pissed yours truly off this time
It's why I ain't just kissin' you I'm kissin' you off

Spare this child your sideways smile
That crack in your veneer
Some blue broad will spoil your rod
It just takes patience dear
They rush you for your life
But you'll never beat the game
Older and older you get
Crush you like a gyre
But the gimble's all the same
Oh no I think it's happening

Kiss you off my lips
I don't need another tube of that dime store lipstick
Well I think I'm gonna buy me a brand new shade of man
Kiss you off my lips
It's standing room only for a piece of my pigment
So excuse me a minute while I supply demand
Kiss you off these lips of mine
Kiss you off for a custom shine
Pissed yours truly off this time
It's why I ain't just kissin' you I'm kissin' you off
