Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ooh, set it alight, burn it down into flames
And do it all over again
Ooh, heaven is wide awake
Working in mysterious ways, ooh
[PreChorus]
Watching the light as it's dancing on you
Hang on for dear life as you brace for the truth
Watching the light as it's dancing on you
[Chorus]
Ooh, start a fire
Let it rage, burn it up
Watch it go down in flames
Open book, turn the page
Start it all over again
Rip it up, tear it out
Let it wash away in the rain
[Verse 2]
Do it for me if you can capture the energy
Lying between the sheets and me, ooh
[PreChorus]
Watching the light as it's dancing on you
Hang on for dear life as you brace for the truth
Watching the light as it's dancing on you
[Chorus]
Ooh, start a fire
Let it rage, burn it up
Watch it go down in flames
Open book, turn the page
Start it all over again
Rip it up, tear it out
Let it wash away in the rain
And you can start it all over again
[Instrumental]
Watching the light as it's dancing on you
Hang on for dear life as you brace for the truth
Watching the light as it's dancing on you
