[Verse 1]
Rolling down the freeway, master to the speed of light
Screaming up in the air, bursting through the night
No rest, I've stayed here too long, it's time to move on
Reality's a three way, a scenery defined
By tomorrow dubbed a mystery and the past just blurry lines
If there's ever been injustice in my name, I bow unto blame

[Hook]
And you can give me everything I need this way
We'll be loving till the first light of the day

[Chorus]
Set the world on fire with bittersweet desire
To chase away the night, let the whole world burn
Set the world on fire for bliss in sweet denial
Oblivion and peace, will you let me burn?

[Verse 2]
Drifting like a cast off, the shadows got it good
With constant companions, would that I could
Further afield my nemesis on stilts is gaining on me
So I crawl across the state line, to another state of being
Holding on for dear life to the better days I've seen
Long for the comfort of your loving arms, your passions, your charms
[Hook]
And you can give me everything I need this way
We'll be loving till the first light of the day

[Chorus]
Set the world on fire with bittersweet desire
To chase away the night, let the whole world burn
Set the world on fire for bliss in sweet denial
Oblivion and peace, will you let me burn?

Did you ever feel your love eclipse in the sun?
I give you the reason I'm still on the run
Disappear in the heavy glare of neon

[Hook]
And you can give me everything I need this way
We'll be loving till the first light of the day

[Chorus]
Set the world on fire with bittersweet desire
To chase away the night, let the whole world burn
Set the world on fire for bliss in sweet denial
Oblivion and peace, will you let me burn?
