The whole house caught fire
On the night of the moonless sky
I couldn't see the can of gasoline
As i lit your cigarette
I only met you hours before
Before the whole house burnt down
You followed me home in the darkness
I didn't quite catch your name
Sharp cries in the night
Follow the voice to the light
Boy on fire
The flame kissed your eyelash
As i lit your cigarette
My hands, my hands, my hands they shook in the darkness
On the night of the moonless sky
As i went to throw the match
A flash in the dark caught my eye
An object reflecting the burning match
Was a shiny gasoline can
chorus
The match hit soft and lovely
There was no sound at all
The moonless night was now ablaze
I had no fear at all
I watched the flames slice up your back
And slither round to your brow
It wasn't until my sweet, pretty lips cracked a smile
Did i see the fear in your eyes
