Hunters & Collectors - Everything's On Fire lyrics

rate me

If I don't come home before midnight

And I call out your name in the dark

You'll know that I've been tempted

And I'll know that I've got no heart

And I'll know I won't be expected

And you'll think we're drifting apart

And I might as well be blowing at the top of the world

When my fingers find your body in the dark

Everything's on fire

Everything's on fire

So if I don't come home before midnight

And I can't find the keyhole in the dark

Burn the place down, make it glow like Christmas

The tenderness that's burning in my heart

Everything's on fire

Everything's on fire

[repeat]

If you can't open your eyes in the morning

If some maniac has been and left his mark

I'll be round to sift through the cinders

Lift the lid and take the thing apart

Everything's on fire

Everything's on fire

[repeat]

So to all you feelers and fumblers

Waiting for the fireworks to start

Do it now-blow it up yourself

Unbutton the butcher in your heart.

And if I don't come home before midnight

And I can't find the keyhole in the dark

You'll know, you'll know that I've been tempted

You'll know, you'll know we're drifting apart.

Everything's on fire

Everything's on fire

[repeat]
