Stars - Set Yourself On Fire lyrics

In a village in the hills House buried to the window sills in snow In a prison yard at night An Alsatian barking for the stars to go In the attic of a house In the slats of light which creep across the room In a forest grove at dawn Where the animals sleep hidden in the gloom On the 97th floor overlooking Tokyo In Camden road in a second floor flat with Dilworth down below There is only one thing There is only one thing In a cancer ward where the patients sit Waiting patiently to die In an aeroplane high above the place You finally left behind In a cage where only one thing could be free And it's not you and I In a cage where only one thing could be free And it's not you and I In every single place that has ever, ever been Hiroshima, Los Angeles and each town in between There is only one thing There is only one thing One thing In the darkest part of you that you have ever seen In the smile of the child staring at the TV screen In the diary of a priest, in the sheets that lie upon his bed Out there amongst the waves and inside your lover's head There is only one thing [x6] There is only one... thing 20 years asleep before we sleep... forever 20 years asleep before we sleep... forever...
