Don’t Set Fire (To the One I Love)

[Intro]
Hey, hey, hey, hey

[Verse 1]
What do I do when the house is shakin'?
Where do I go when the window's breakin'?
I'll sit in the garden and watch the last birds fly
I'll take my time 'cause I haven't a chance
I'm gonna sit right here till the mountains dance
I'm gonna lie in the garden and kiss my ass goodbye

[Pre-Chorus]
Then I'll run to a church and pray for a miracle
For every saint and sinner in the world
There's a million ordinary people
Asking the question, why?

[Chorus]
Don't set fire to the one I love (Don't, don't set fire)
Don't set fire to the one I love (Don't, don't set fire)
I said, don't set fire to the one I love (Don't, don't set fire)
Today

[Verse 2]
What's gonna happen when they turn out the light?
There'll be a big crowd up in heaven tonight
Will they bang, bang, bang on the pearly gates?
Till a voice says "Sorry, you left it too late
We're closed
I said, we're closed
But the other place is open"

[Chorus]
Don't set fire to the one I love (Don't, don't set fire)
Don't set fire to the one I love (Don't, don't set fire)
Please don't set fire to the one I love (Don't, don't set fire)
Today
Don't set fire to the one I love (Don't, don't set fire)
I said, don't set fire to the one I love (Don't, don't set fire)
(Please) Don't set fire to the one I love (Don't, don't set fire)
I pray

[Harmonica Solo]
Hey, hey, hey, hey

[Chorus]
Don't set fire to the one I love (Don't, don't set fire)
Don't set fire to the one I love (Don't, don't set fire)
Please don't set fire to the one I love (Don't, don't set fire)
Today (Don't, don't set fire)
(Said) Don't set fire to the one I love (Don't, don't set fire)
(Said) Don't set fire to the one I love (Don't, don't set fire)
(Please) Don't, don't set fire to the one I love (Don't, don't set fire)
(Said) I pray (Don't, don't set fire)

[Outro]
(Don't set fire) To the world
(Don't set fire) To the stars above
(Don't set fire) To the universe
(Don't set fire) To the one I love
