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
