Stars - Set Yourself On Fire (2005) by Stars (보컬) on maniadb.com

In the year of my decline
Sucking freezies in the rain
Driving twisted in the suburbs
And then driving back again

Seventeen and half alive
Headlights illuminate the school
Inhale the powder from the science class
Yeah nearly dying felt so cool

Your face is all that hasn't changed
You're reassembled just like me
But when I reach to touch your hand
You stroke mine gently

All I want is one more chance
To be young and wild and free
All I want is one more chance to show you
You were right for me
You were right for me

I'm back in gym and it's the same
As my name tag floats away
I had six too many drinks last night, yes
And thats why I made you stay

Plus I always wanted you
You liked to rock it in your car
You said you didn't understand me
Because I always tried to see too far

Well "Tainted Love's" too fast to dance to
So let's leave them all behind
They hated us with everything they had
And we hated them in kind

All I want is one more chance
To be young and wild and free
All I want is one more chance to show you
You were right for me

All I want is one more chance
To be young and wild and free
All I want is one more chance to show you
You were right for me

Reunion, reunion...

You look so good in the clothes of a poser
And when you smiled all the kids fell apart here
I know a place where it's warm and it's dry, dear
Let me take you there

North of the river all the streets are the same
We can pretend that they don't know our name
And the heat is turned all the way to full
So don't pretend that you don't feel the pull

I am trying to say
What I want to say
Without having to say
"I love you"

You look so good in the shoes of an outcast
I kissed your throat every time they said it wouldn't last
But then I knew you, I knew you, I knew you
I really knew you

We fell apart in the parties of the empty heart
We danced the junkies in the shadows of bad modern art
We clicked our heels and we wished we were home
One more tab and your silk hits the chrome

I am trying to say
What I want to say
Without having to say
"I love you"

I am trying to say
What I want to say
Without having to say
"I love you"

Springs comes in when I'm rolling up another one
I draw the curtains in the glare of the same old sun
We are collapsed in the act of just being here
Three blues, two greens and a beer...
We are collapsed in the act of just being here
Three blues, two greens and a beer...

I am trying to say
What I want to say
Without having to say
"I love you"

I am trying to say
What I want to say
Without having to say
"I love you"

We don't want to sleep tonight
Still young like that I count the lines
Beside your mouth that smiles now
My arms reach up as you go down
With buried heads we both forget
All of the past and its regret
Wind picks up, the window shakes
We won't hear the morning break

You will cry
And I will cry
'Cause all the love's
Alive tonight

Neighborhoods will try to dream
While you and me we hold and lean
Onto bodies slick and charged
Together just one beating heart
All around us quiet now
We hear the leaves fall to the ground
Morning light upon our bed
An ally while I catch your breath

You will cry
And I will cry
'Cause all the love's
Alive tonight
You will cry (repeat)

First time, in the backyard
Underneath the plastic sheeting
Outside, it was pouring
And we were drunk as shit

Next time, at a party
When all our friends were there
There's nothing like their mattresses
Underneath the stairs

Third time, in the doorway
With the lights all on around us
And the audience beside us
And the old man watching from the trees

Fourth time, I said that's that
You've agreed to give me everything
Now I've got to ask you one more thing
Keep doing that forever

Fifth time in your bedroom
And finally, we rested
And you leaned upon your elbow
And began to speak to me

But you stopped yourself and kissed me
And I grabbed your wrist and told you
I know, I know, I know
I feel the same as you

And everyday, it's changed since then
In every way, I've changed since then
And everyday, it's changed since then
In every way, I've changed since then

Driven outside
I've driven you
Driven outside
I've driven you

What gives you the right?
To fuck with our lives?
A devil born in paradise
A liar loves to lie
Keep watching your back
Killers always have killers on their track
Keep watching the sky
'cause you might get lucky again
I hope your drunken daughters are gay!
You are the shadow of fear!
Yoou scare the love out of here
Like an ape in a cage
Small white man in a rage
Mellow suit, mellow smile
Limousines down murder mile...
Watch the devil's at play!
Drain the bottle empty
California today
Tomorrow it's you and me...

And so tomorrow there will be another number
For the one who had a name
Desert wind and a perverse desire to win
History buried in shame

(Chorus:)
All the beating drums
Celebration guns
The thunder and the laughter
The last thing they remember

(Chorus)

And then the next day
How will you know your enemy
By their color or your fear
One by one you can cage them
In your freedom
Make them all disappear

Six hundred sixty-six hundred sixty days
Two guards for one uncharged
This morning's papers, ink stains my fingers
My hands grow darker everyday

(Chorus x4)

Goodnight, sleep light, stranger (repeat x3)
