Set Me on Fire

You'll go even higher
Higher than I lay
Here inside the cold

And I hope you'll aspire
To bigger things one day
The promise that you hold

Set me on fire
And look another way
Don't stare into the flames
'Cause as long as I burn
I'll keep us warm

My ashes will remain
To scatter 'round the plains
But as long as I'm here
Set me on fire

Set me on fire and let me burn
Set me on fire

What difference does it make?
Why would you hesitate?
Tied to the witch's stake
Promise you won't be late
God only knows I'm fake
Rotten morose and late
Burn me for goodness sake
Burn me for goodness sake

'Cause all that I do seems to be wrong
And I resort to this
My desire

Just set me on fire
And look another way
Don't stare into the flames
'Cause as long as I burn
I'll keep us warm

My ashes will remain
To scatter 'round the plains
'Cause as long as I'm here
You can set me on fire

Set me on fire and let me burn
Set me on fire

What difference does it make?
Why would you hesitate?
Tied to the witch's stake
Promise you won't be late
God only knows I'm fake
Rotten morose and late
Burn me for goodness sake
Burn me for goodness sake

'Cause all that I knew seems to be gone
I resort to this
My desire

Just set me on fire
And look another way
Don't stare into the flames
'Cause as long as I burn
I'll keep us warm

My ashes will remain
To scatter 'round the plains
But as long as I'm here
You can set me on fire

Just set me on fire and let me burn
And let me burn
Just set me on fire

What difference does it make?
Why would you hesitate?
Tied to the witch's stake
Promise you won't be late
God only knows I'm fake
Rotten morose and late
Burn me for goodness sake
Burn me for goodness sake

Burn me for goodness sake
Burn me for goodness sake
Burn me for goodness sake
Burn me for goodness sake
Burn me for goodness sake
Burn me for goodness sake
Burn me for goodness sake
Burn me for goodness sake
