She watched the valley burn like
A slow dancer doing turns
My name was on every tongue
And all of the smoke and ash like
A memory of the time gone bad
Hanging like a shadow

To light it up again, burn like a holy fire
Light me up again if it makes you feel free
Light me up again call me a snake and a liar
And I will be the fire that keeps you warm

Matches to gasoline
I could not keep my fingers clean
Enough for your gunpowder heart
And as I lit the fuse and
Ran for cover where were you
Standing with your hands on the flame

Light it up again burn like a holy fire
Light me up again if it makes you feel free
Light me up again call me a snake and a liar
And I will be the fire that keeps you warm

Light it up again burn like a holy fire
Light me up again if it makes you feel free
Light me up again call me a snake and a liar
And I will be the fire that keeps you warm
