Have you been lighting fires in the park?
Another burning effigy of a memory
That I'd sooner leave in the dark
Another little thing to pull apart
Another roman candle that you handle
To vandalise my heart
Let me roll around in the ashes with you
Let me roll around until you're grey and I am blue
O let me roll around
Or bury me in the ground and let me go
O you set me off, every time
I am burning bright, and then I'm gone
Have you been taking pictures in your sleep?
The kind to mount an alibi
To make a grown man weep
Have you been holding secrets you can't keep?
Smothered like a campfire
On a cold July, that won't admit defeat
Let me roll around in the ashes with you
Let me roll around until you're grey and I am blue
O let me roll around
Or bury me in the ground and let me go
