If I don't come home before midnight And I call out your name in the dark You'll know that I've been tempted And I'll know that I've got no heart
And I'll know I won't be expected And you'll think we're drifting apart And I might as well be blowing at the top of the world When my fingers find your body in the dark
Everything's on fire Everything's on fire
So if I don't come home before midnight And I can't find the keyhole in the dark Burn the place down, make it glow like Christmas The tenderness that's burning in my heart
Everything's on fire Everything's on fire
Everything's on fire Everything's on fire
If you can't open your eyes in the morning If some maniac has been and left his mark I'll be round to sift through the cinders Lift the lid and take the thing apart
Everything's on fire Everything's on fire
Everything's on fire Everything's on fire
So to all you feelers and fumblers Waiting for the fireworks to start Do it now, blow it up yourself Unbutton the butcher in your heart
And if I don't come home before midnight And I can't find the keyhole in the dark You'll know, you'll know that I've been tempted You'll know, you'll know we're drifting apart
