Light the Match
Light the match
And burn the house down
Set me on fire
‘Cause I’m not going downtown
Don’t tell me what you’re feeling
‘Cause you’re just being selfish
Don’t act like you care
Or say that you helped us
I’m all alone
Surrounded by strangers
Dying so slowly
I’m attracted to danger
Put me up softly
And pay for my bail
‘Cause tonight I’m getting out of
My personal jail
