I'm a man on fire
Walking through your street
With one guitar
And two dancing feet
Only one desire
That's left in me
I want the whole damn world
To come dance with me
(Oh, come dance with me)
Over murder and pain
Come set you free
Over heartache and shame
I wanna see our bodies burning like the old big sun
I wanna know what we've been learning and learning from
Everybody want safety (safety love)
Everybody want comfort (comfort love)
Everybody want certain (certain love)
Everybody but me
I'm a man on fire
Walking down your street
With one guitar
And two dancing feet
Only one desire
That's left in me
I want the whole damn world
To come and dance with me
(Bah bah bah bah bah)
Yay, yay, come dance with me
Over heartache and rage
Come set us free
Over panic and strange
I wanna see our bodies burning like the old big sun
I wanna know what we’ve been learning and learning from
Everybody want romance (romance love)
Everybody want safety (safety love)
Everybody want comfort (comfort love)
Everybody but me
I’m a man on fire (he’s a man on fire)
Walking down your street (walking down your street)
With one guitar (With one guitar)
And two dancing feet (two dancing feet)
Only one desire (one desire)
That’s still in me (that’s left in me)
I want the whole damn world (I want the whole damn world)
To come and dance with me (come and dance with me yeah)
Walking through your street

| westslope (BC coast) | Posted: Aug 10, 2012 - 17:52 Catchy. Comparison with John Prine is appropriate though by Prine's standards, this is definitely 'over-produced'. :-) |
| pmikep (Everett, WA) | Posted: Aug 06, 2012 - 16:41 Sounded like John Prine at the beginning! That's not a bad thing. |
| lausebengel (Zurich, Switzerland) | Posted: Aug 06, 2012 - 15:52 I like that band so much — it's just that I haven't yet figured out if their new album surpasses the old one (of which "Home" was, by the way, the worst track...)?! |

| kingart (Brooklyn NY) | Posted: Jul 23, 2012 - 12:30 Sounds like the soundtrack vocals to a movie from the '60s. |

It's probably just you, but any time I can avoid being reminded of the eunuch-like wailing of Jon Anderson is a good time. Nice tune. |

This track is about as lively as a dead salmon in a fish market. Speaking as someone who is currently involved in the elimination of 560,000 dead salmon, you've got a ways to go. |

| krysthal (Toronto, Canada) | Posted: May 31, 2012 - 08:11 Like this a lot, an interesting tune. I had to visit the website to see who it was. For me, it's another great Radio Paradise artist 'find'. Thanks Bill and Rebecca! |
