Set Yourself On Fire

In a village in the hills
 House buried to the window sills in snow
 In a prison yard at night
 An Alsatian barking for the stars to go
 In the attic of a house
 In the slats of light which creep across the room
 In a forest grove at dawn
 Where the animals sleep hidden in the gloom
 On the 97th floor overlooking Tokyo
 In Camden road in a second floor flat with
 Dilworth down below
 There is only one thing
 ♪
 There is only one thing
 ♪
 In a cancer ward where the patients sit
 Waiting patiently to die
 In an aeroplane high above the place
 You finally left behind
 In a cage where only one thing could be free
 And it's not you and I
 In a cage where only one thing could be free
 And it's not you and I
 In every single place that has ever, ever been
 Hiroshima, Los Angeles and each town in between
 There is only one thing
 There is only one thing
 One thing
 ♪
 In the darkest part of you that you have ever seen
 In the smile of the child staring at the TV screen
 In the diary of a priest, in the sheets that lie upon his bed
 Out there amongst the waves and inside your lover's head
 There is only one thing, there is only one thing
 There is only one thing, there is only one thing
 There is only one thing, there is only one thing
 There is only one thing
 20 years asleep before we sleep forever
 ♪
 20 years asleep before we sleep forever
 ♪
 10 years on the coast figuring out the weather
 ♪
 Another decade getting high until you're free
 There's nothing after that but you and I
 Nothing after that but you and me
 20 years asleep before we sleep forever

 20 years asleep before we sleep forever
