If You're Gonna Ignite

Verse 1

The Serengeti, New York City

In the mornin'

All the loneliness can kill you like a gun

It'll start well

Just your heart until your good deal

Are so loaded up with lead you cannot stand

And you can't tell the ocean from the land

Chorus

Started like a night (oh)

Crawled under your skin like a slight

But if you're gonna ignite (oh)

Don't let the sad creatures cover your light

They've got not teeth left to bite (oh)

They just wanna kill your Saturday night

But it's ok it's alright

I'm high but I'm not afraid of the heights

There's just no reason to fly

I couldn't if I tried

Verse 2

Sweet forgiveness give me back

The hours I've wasted

Tryin' to change the Mississippi into wine

I light a cigarette between the words I'm speaking

And feel them change inside my mouth back into sand

Chorus

Started like a night (oh)

Crawled under your skin like a slight

But if you're gonna ignite (oh)

Don't let the sad creatures cover your light

They've got not teeth left to bite (oh)

They just wanna kill your Saturday night

But it's ok it's alright

I'm high but I'm not afraid of the heights

There's just no reason to fly

I couldn't if I tried

Bridge/Outro

Even if I tried

Down here in the basement

And you can see the sky

Sittin here wasting, wasting my time

My time gets wasted

Even if I tried

Down here in the basement

And you can see the sky

Sittin here wasting, wasting my time

My time gets wasted
