Lyrics Start A Fire - The Tiger Lillies

Start A Fire

I like burning houses down, and factories as well.
I like burning anything, it’s the truth I tell.
Libraries and museums, both of them have fell,
I like burning things, burning things is swell.
I would like to start it as a fashion trend,
Amongst the young people, then the world might end.
Wouldn’t it be fun, to ring the funeral bell,
On our civilization, and watch it burn in Hell.
Start a fire, start a fire, start a fire today.
Burn it, burn it, burn it, burn it, burn it all away.
Fire!
Fire!
In the summer I like to go to the country side,
Where I burn a forest down, I watch it burn with pride.
Isn’t nature wonderful, it makes things so dry,
Burn it, burn it, burn it, burn it, burn the country side.
Start a fire, start a fire, start a fire today
Burn it, burn it, burn it, burn it, burn it all away.
Fire!
Fire!
It makes me feel so sad to see young people dance,
They could burn the discotheque down, they’ve got every chance.
Then they’d get themselves into the news,
Burning things, burning things can make you famous too.
Start a fire, start a fire, start a fire today
Burn it, burn it, burn it, burn it, burn it all away.
Fire!
Fire!
Burn it, burn it, burn it, burn it, burn it all away.
