Well, they say that we are tragic And they say we're born to lose You're the misfit, I'm the sinner You're the Eve and I'm the fool But, today, you'll be the master or the slave It's up to you Or my beautiful disaster Take me any way you choose Don't fight it Ignite it There's much ashore I think it's time you set this world on fire (this world on fire) I think it's time you push it to the edge (to the edge) Burn it to the ground and trip the wire (just trip the wire) It may never be this good again, oh It's like a new religion Speak in tongues, come see the light Do not trip from inhibitions that will only waste my time Let me tempt you with the evils of the flesh and so much more Like a Babylon redeemer Like a pusher, like a whore Just try it You'll like it I'll give you more I think it's time you set this world on fire (this world on fire) I think it's time you push it to the edge (to the edge) Burn it to the ground and trip the wire (just trip the wire) It may never be this good again, oh It's so dark, I can't see All the truth inside us All I want is to feel something that's real before the end Close the door Turn the key Do you like What you see? Kill the lights Oh, come to me Set it off tonight Baby, just set fire to gasoline I think it's time you set this world on fire (this world on fire) I think it's time you push it to the edge (to the edge) I'm so fuckin' bored, so trip the wire (just trip the wire) It may never be this good again Just trip the wire (just trip the wire) This world's on fire (this world's on fire) Just trip the wire (just trip the wire) It may never be this good again
