setting fires

John Cale

I set the trees on fire
Burn down every house
Saw them burning in the morning
Come check it out

Everyday, everyday
I see the sun come down everyday
I set the trees on fire
It's the best way
It's the best way, to go

I start to shout again
It's bright and early
I can smell the earth
And every house

Give it away, give it away
Sense and sensibility
I'm going away to sea
I'm going away

Give me everything you have
Let me have everything you have
Sense and sensibility
That's all I have
Take another look, see it turn red
Take another look, let it bleed
Take another look, the trees are on fire

What's it worth to you
To come and see me burn
What's it worth to you
To see me cry

You wanna be alive
You wanna be alive
You wanna be alive
You wanna be alive
