Man On Fire
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I've been casually defeated in the past
So I'm trying hard to reach you but not ask
I get abide but if I'm wrong I'd be addressed
So tell me straight, cause it's getting late
I want you, I think
You need me, I think
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Let me entertain you, take our time
Don't just leave me waiting for a sign
You can lay your body here tonight
Tip-toe, got me walking on a wire
Goddamn, I'm a man on fire
It don't have to get too serious with me
It's as simple as the 1 and 2 and 3
But we could be
Paper dolls and polka dots and diamond rings
But either way - I don't wanna wait, no
I want you, I think
You need me, I think
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Let me entertain you, take our time
Don't just leave me waiting for a sign
You can lay your body here tonight
Oh, tip-toe, got me walking on a wire
Goddamn, I'm a man on fire
All our friends have gone home
I've got you alone
We're heading, let's squeeze three times for yes
Don't put on your coat
That's something we'd both regret
Let's stay happiness
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Let me entertain you, take our time
Don't just leave me waiting for a sign
You can lay your body here tonight
Tip-toe, got me walking on a wire
Goddamn, I'm a man on fire
(Oh, you got me walking on a wire)
Tip-toe, got me walking on a wire (oh yes, you do)
Goddamn, I'm a man on fire
Da da doo, daw daw daw
