Set The Prairie On Fire

Lyrics

Full, full moon and that same sad nature
 I wanna cover every inch of you like ink on a paper
 Like the blind parade of souls consumed by religion
 I can't wait 'til I get you in that defenseless position
 When we set the prairie on fire
 Oh, we go down to the water naked and slow
 You and me and the heart of desire
 We set the prairie on fire
 How hard will the wind blow
 How far will it go
 When this feeling burns down to one solitary color
 The velocity of longing melting into each other
 It's a song our fingers play all at once and together
 You can bet we never learned it but we've known it forever
 Oh, I dreamed that we were flying carried up from the ashes
 Black silhouettes of velvet against the crimson of passion
 We can almost hear the echoes from the smoldering meadow
 It's the rapture of the angels and the rage of the devil
 When we set the prairie on fire
 Oh, we go down to the water naked and slow
 You and me, oo, and the heart of desire
 We set the prairie on fire
 How hard will the wind blow
 How far will it go
 In the cool dusk of horses through the rusted wires of sleep
 With our arms around midnight we're headed for release
 We go riding in the wind, we go riding in the dark
 Riding, riding, oh oh
 When we set the prairie on fire
 Oh, we go down to the water naked and slow
 You and me, you and me and the heart of desire
 We set the prairie on fire
 How hard will the wind blow
 How far will it go
 How far will it go
 How far will it go
 How far will it go
 How far will it go
