Set Yourself On Fire

In a cage where only one thing could be free and it's not you and I
Out there amongst the waves and inside your lover's head
There is only one thing
20 years asleep before we sleep forever
There is only one thing
There is only one thing

In the darkest part of you that you have ever seen
In a prison yard at night an Alsatian barking for the stars to go
There is only one thing
Nothing after that but you and me
In Camden road in a second floor flat with dilworth down below
There is only one thing
There is only one thing
There is only one thing, one thing

In every single place that has ever ever been
There's nothing after that but you and I
There is only one thing
10 years on the coast figurin' out the weather

In an aeroplane high above the place you finally left behind
In a forest grove at dawn where the animals sleep hidden in the gloom
20 years asleep before we sleep forever

There is only one thing
In a cage where only one thing could be free and it's not you and I
20 years asleep before we sleep forever
There is only one thing
In a cancer ward where the patients sit waiting patiently to die
In the diary of a priest in the sheets that lie upon his bed

On the 97th floor overlooking Tokyo
Another 10 years gettin' high until you're free
In the smile of the child staring at the TV screen

In the attic of a house in the slats of light which creep across the room
Hiroshima, Los Angeles and each town in between
There is only one thing
In a village in the hills house buried to the window sills in snow
