Lyrics

Ignite

[verse 1]

Twilight comes and the mood's complete

Gonna hit the street grab some of that night time beat

My heart is beat beat beating like a drum

The night is in my veins we're gonna have some fun tonight

[Chorus 1]

Light the fuse I must ignite

I'm gonna set the world alight

Light the fuse I must ignite

I'm gonna set the world alight

I wanna see you burn

[verse 2]

I killed the cigarette I killed the light

I'm killing time the heat kills me on a hot summer night

I'm gonna dream a life live a dream

Hell for leather in my scheme of things tonight

[Chorus 2]

Light the fuse I must ignite

I'm gonna set the world alight

Light the fuse I must ignite

I'm gonna set the world alight

[guitar solo]

[verse 3]

Through my head blood is rushing through my head

No pleasure tonight I'm lying in bed

Like a candle man I must ignite

I'm gonna set the world alight tonight

[Chorus 3]

Light the fuse I must ignite

I'm gonna set the world alight

Light the fuse I must ignite

I'm gonna set the world alight
