--- Verse 1 ---
Jester to the left seems to take with both hands,
White man never looked so weak as he fires off in bands,
Bands of quick wit and banter pierce like daggers to the soul,
As he tears out your heart to sit upon the hot coal...
--- Chorus ---
Oooh Lord set my soul on fire (x2)
--- Verse 2 ---
Voice on your right shoulder says now come son take my hand,
It's the jesters grinning whisper only likes to lead the damned,
Cut you down to size drag you down to hell,
Gonna be down so deep no living soul can hear you yell...
--- Chorus ---
Oooh Lord set my soul on fire (x2)
--- Verse 3 ---
Room is filled with fat cats also prone to heart attacks,
As the knife bites lips and leather slowly cuts then gently smacks,
Joker grins through gritted teeth says now look boy I have won,
Now the devil he's my father and me his undead son
-
The woman at the pearly gate she greeted me with joy,
"Thought you left it too damn late,thought you'd took the devils ploy"
Well I fought him off with tooth and nail and I bit him on his ear
Then she tore away the mask and said the devils son is here
--- Chorus --- (x2)
Oooh Lord set my soul on fire (x2)

Verse 1
Cradled like rain inside your arms
Drawn like cattle from afar
Drag me down to the shallow grave
Push me into a midnight rave
Chorus
So Lonely now you’re here, so boldly daring to adhere (x2)
Verse 2
Cocaine bosom another blonde
Wearing thin on options to drift beyond
Bragging rights are so harshly fought
Never grasping to that solemn thought…
Felt for space, I fell for sound
Couldn’t hurt me this one last round
Sorry state I’m asleep at the door
Seeking punishment keep craving more
Chorus
Refrain
I can only hope, hope I’m worth fighting for
As you beat me down till my palms get sore (x 2)
Last Line
So Lonely now you’re here

VERSE 1
Bleeding love for you and me, Drains away so only clowns can see, Mimes and goblins tell tall tales in trees, And that's how I look at you...
Fixed my wing so I could fly, Drink to much but so do I, Face depicts in clouds strewn across the sky, And that's how I look at you, And that's how I look at you...
VERSE 2
Wake up to see our face, Little left of human trace, You've become part of the angel race, And thats how I look at you,
Teardrop in the ocean sound, Its gone and come full circle round, My guilt my sin going pound for pound, And that's how I look at you, and that's how I look at you...
VERSE 3
Hug me with your blindest eye, Kiss me under violent skies, My love for you meant I had to lie, And that's how I look at you, And that's how I look at you...

Verse 1
So darling don’t you cry
Don’t you ever wipe those eyes
As your father would want to see
That your faith belongs to me
With bolder love than I possess
These lonely worlds can just caress
Chorus
Hold me tight don’t let me go
There’s just one thing that you need to know
My skin is just a blanket over broken glass
Verse 2
So darling don’t you cry
Don’t you ever wipe those eyes
As your father would want to see
That your faith belongs to me
The sun. the moon, the stars
The face that launched a thousand wars
Chorus
Hold me tight don’t let me go
There’s just one thing that you need to know
My skin is just a blanket over broken glass
Bridge
Could you ever hold my heart, shield it from the from the darkest parts
Could you ever grasp at loves lost hope tonight?

Verse 1
Are we lions or cubs gone to battle
Or sheep and lambs gone to war
Watched the sun roll down on the desert
Wilsed that you were that far away star
-
Are we lovers lying in combat
Thought that our time had come
Tore through a thousand scripts in the twight-light
Back when we were both young
Chorus
Zoe go home, Zoe don’t phone
Leave me the hell alone
Tonight, tonight tonight … HEY!
Verse 2
Cost your innocence in a country tent
Way down the beaten path
Weren’t about to lay down no rent
Whilst you were lying on your back
-
Broken wing and a home in a tree
Well you were scowling at the night
Weren’t about to give up on me
Without one last win or die fight
Chorus
