Love Set Fire Lyrics - Moxy Fruvous

(Murray on lead) 

Small paper cranes 

and wall paper stains 

that the pictures can hardly conceal 

Love letters bent 

from tears that were spent 

on a cruel and a shabby ideal 

But love set fire 

to everything 

and the flames looked like 

angel's wings. 

We played our parts 

with paper hearts 

and love set fire 

to everything. 

I know that it's wrong 

to stay here this long 

haunted by all of her things 

I found out too late 

only fools feel safe 

in a house made of jokers and kings 

But Love set fire 

to everything 

and the flames looked like 

angels wings. 

We played our parts 

with paper hearts 

(All) 

and love set fire 

to everything. 

(accordion and string solo) 

(Murray) 

I've tried to escape her 

and these bits of paper 

but the memories I just can't outrun 

So I'll keep lighting matches 

when one of them catches 

this thing will finally 

be done 

(All) 

But Love set fire 

to everything 

and the flames looked like 

angels wings. 

We played our parts 

with paper hearts 

and love set fire 

to everything.
