Robyn Cage - The Arsonist & The Thief lyrics

They met in the desert- their encounter was brief He was an Arsonist, she was a Thief He struck a match and she burned with desire She stole his heart, he set hers on fire Love burns, but it don’t burn long A spark in the dark seems so strong If you find it, keep it, hold on Turn your back for a second and it’s gone The desert heat was a feeble flame Their bonfire blazed like the future, like fame They danced ‘round the fire, got high off the fumes They drank communion and howled at the moon Love burns, but it don’t burn long A spark in the dark seems so strong If you find it, keep it, hold on Turn your back for a second and it’s gone Before long, he was looking around She wasn’t the only thief in town Everyone wants love that’s real So we beg, we borrow, we steal Just before leaving he stole back his heart She began looking for fires to start She fed her own flames ‘til her spirit was choked Her heart and soul- cinders and smoke Love burns, it don’t burn long A spark in the dark seems so strong If you find it, keep it, hold on Love burns, love burns…. In the end it don’t matter if it’s real or a con Turn your back for a second and it’s gone Turn your back for a second and it’s gone Turn your back for a second and it’s gone
