Set the World on Fire
Album - 24 agosto 1993 - Debaser id 32267

I shall give the vision of what is meant to be
All you have to know is that I hold the master key
I know your weakness and I can see your pain
You scream deliverance and I will pave the way

Chorus 1:
I'll set the world on fire
It's your time to retire
Because sooner or later
You're going to meet your maker

I'll give you what I think is best and what I know is right
And those who follow me, I'll give you strength and might
You pledge allegiance and I'll prevent your fall
I am your leader and know I rule you all

Repeat Chorus 1

Your people are dying
Your people are crying out
That you must go down
Down, down, down, you must go down
Let's take them down

Now that it's over and all is said and done
You've turned the sky to black, no sign of the sun
Do you think the free world, is going to wish you well
No god can save you now, you're going straight to hell

Chorus 2:
We've set your world on fire
You are now retired
Because sooner or later
We have to meet our maker

Set the world on fire...

I've been living here a billion years and more
You're ready to burn me up, so get set for war
My world's been set on fire, like a knife in the back
This is your final warning, prepare for attack

Chorus 1:
Can't you hear me crying
Get ready for the nozone
Get ready!

To bite the hand that feeds you,
it's like a time bomb ready to blow
You scorch and rape the land, look at Borneo
Too much, Too little, too late, chemicals take to the air
They're going to burn another hole in the sky,
you better say your prayers

Chorus 2:
Can't you hear me crying
I'm trying to send a message out to you
It's time to put out the fire
Get ready for the nozone

Dream and pray, the ozone mustn't burn away
You can try to run, you'll never hide, it's global suicide
Why aren't you listening to me, you better listen!

Repeat first verse, Chorus 2

I'm getting sick and tired of wasting all my time
And trying to read between your lines
It's hard to see yourself when the mirror's cracked
Why don't you try to see the signs

Chorus 1:
It's time to realize
It's not that hard to see
Just open up your eyes
I've got bats in the belfry

Why don't you listen
I'm trying to help you
You don't, don't give a damn

Why not take all of me, or was this all in vain
I'm crying out, "Don't' take me down with you"
My pain and all your problems are coming to a boil
So tired of all the hell I've been put through

Repeat Chorus 1

Why don't you listen
I'm trying to help you
You don't, don't give a damn
Why can't you hear me
I'm trying to save you
You don't give a, you don't, don't give a damn

Anxiety attack as confusion rips at the mind
Help me, my head is spinning round and round
Help me, I guess you'll never know until it hits
you in the face like a bat

I sit here in my room without too much to say
At least I'll live to see another day, no thanks to you

Chorus 2:
Too late to realize
It wasn't that hard to see
Just open up your eyes
I've got bats in the belfry

Day by day, watching you disappear
Wishing that you were still here beside me
On my own, swimming against the tide
There's nobody on my side but your memory

Then you'll rise right before my eyes
On wings that fill the sky
Like a phoenix rising
Like a phoenix rising

Wings on fire, tearing into the night
Screaming into the light of another day
Carry me out the hurricane
Into the smoke and flame and we'll fly away

And we'll rise right before their eyes
On wings that fill the sky
Like a phoenix rising
Like a phoenix rising

Higher, higher, hear the thunder roar from above
Fire, fire, fire makes me whole
Into the smoke and flame and we'll fly away

And we'll rise right before their eyes
On wings that fill the sky
Like a phoenix rising
Like a phoenix rising

Wings on fire, tearing in to the night
And we'll fly away

Good evening and welcome to a test of the minds
This match begins as our thoughts begin to grind
I send a pawn towards you, a subtle piece of my attack
Pondering the next move, I guess you'll never know unless you try
It

Knight jumps queen if you know what I mean
Anticipation of the final scene
Knight jumps queen, so get prepared
For this checkmate has been happily declared
As the knight jumps the queen

You have made selections, a white castle crumbles at your feet
To Counter the men in black, your moves must all be elite
A bishop takes a rook and this cuts him down to size
This is no tailor-made situation
I guess I have some real competition for once

Knight jumps queen if you know what I mean
Anticipation of the final scene
Knight jumps queen, so get prepared
For this checkmate has been happily declared
As the knight jumps the queen

Hours and hours to a stalemate, this game has come to a close
Could it end without a climax betwwen to exhausted foes
Night-time's falling on the castle, it's bringing in another day
The concentration was impossible, I never had a doubt I wouldn't
Win it from you

Knight jumps queen if you know what I mean
Anticipation of the final scene
Knight jumps queen, so get prepared
For this checkmate has been happily declared
As the knight jumps the queen

Say good-bye and close your eyes, let's drift away
Like a ship on the ocean, we'll set sail for a better day
Come live in a daydream, this is your wonderland
Let's swim in the deep sea, so jump in and take my hand

Chorus 1:
Dream away, don't wait for the night
'Cause any old time at all sounds good to me

Hello, you can open your eyes, we're almost there
Can you feel all the energy, there's magic everywhere
Come live in a daydream, create your destiny
Just let the feeling surround you and it will set you free

Bridge:
We've all got problems, don't let them get to you
And when you're feeling down, there's only one thing to do

Chorus 2:
Dream away, don't wait for the night
'Cause any old time at all sounds good to me
Dream away, everything's all right
I hope it sounds good to you, sounds good to me
Sounds good to me

Repeat bridge, Chorus 2

The edge, I'm walking a fine line
Too young to be waiting at stop signs
I'm on fire and I can't cool down
And I'm ready to roll right out of this town

Chorus 1:
'Cause there's something in me you can't learn in school
They teach it on the street, it's the only rule
It's the edge

The edge, I'm dying in the classroom
Tell me why should I dance to your tune
Keep your plans for my security
Because there's only one thing taking care of me

Chorus 2:
And it's harder than steel, it cuts like a knife
It's the way I run, it's a way of life
The edge

You can't hold me down forever
What doesn't kill me makes me strong
If you can't take it, you can't make it
Out here on the edge, for very long

Repeat first verse, Chorus 1, Chorus 2

I dropped out of the rat race
I just needed a break from it all
And now I live in the country
With the birds and the bees and these bright white walls
Let me introduce you to some friends of mine
They're so polite and they dress so fine
Sometimes they take me for a walk in the sun
I get to play in the grass 'till I'm done

Brain dance
Brain dance
This is brain dance
Watch my brain dance

I'd like to call myself an artist
My toe paintings are just the best
But when my feet get tired
I lose the crayon and get some rest
I've got a feeling there's a fish in the floor
I'd better squish it or he'll swim out the door
Sometimes they take me for a walk in the sun
I see my fish and I have to run

Brain dance
Brain dance
This is brain dance

Rubber shoes, a dirty sock
Plastic toes and it's my pet rock
And this song is very silly and it makes no sense at all because
it's weird
Out of the pan and into the fire and back in the pan again
He jumped out of the frying pan, into the fire and he's back again
He jumped, what?, yes he's jumped and he's flying through the air
He jumped out of the frying pan, into the fire and he's back again
Let me introduce you to a friend of mine
She's been here for quite some time
Sometimes we go out for a walk in the sun
To walk with ALICE is always fun

Brain dance
Brain dance
This is brain dance
Watch my brain dance
