Torch It Songtext
von Wire

His father′s smile and the sparkle in his eye

In the house not home, behind closed doors
They hide their face between the floors
In the house not home, under the bed
Stories are told and lies are spread
The house not home is full of love
It's the hate which seeps in from above

I′m going to torch it
Torch it down
I'm going to torch it
With you on the top

In the house not home, they gild their floors
Preen their feathers and cheat their cores
In the house not home, eyes are closed
Blur and talk while allies froze
In the house not home, me, me pres
The wailing wall of cheap despair


In the house not home, the longhouse turns
Shit to gold, the tallhouse burns
In the house not home, dreams are trained
Innocence, hope, lust, mysteries explained

I'm gonna torch it
I′m gonna torch it
I′m gonna torch it with you on the top
I'm gonna torch it
I′m gonna torch it
I'm gonna torch it with you on the top

In the house not home
There are four blanks
Your ignorance was unusable
Your thoughtlessness not

I′m gonna torch it
I'm gonna torch it
I′m going to torch it with you on the top
I'm going to torch it
I'm going to torch it
I′m going to torch it
I′m going to torch it with you on the top


La-la-la-la-la, me, me pres
La-la-la-la-la, the wailing wail
La-la-la-la-la, cheap despair
Me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me

It's the hate
It leaks in from above
It′s the hate
It's full of blood

I′m gonna torch it
I'm going to torch it
I′m gonna torch it with you on the top
I'm going to torch it
I'm going to torch it
I′m gonna torch it with you on the top

You on the top
You on the top
Me, me pres
Oh, me, me pres
Oh, me, me pres
Oh, me, me pres
Oh, me, me pres
Oh, me, me pres
Oh, me, me pres
Oh, wailing wall of cheap despair
I′m going to torch it with you on the top
She tends to grow older
We sing our cheap despair as our secrets are sold
The spirit is broken, I'm gonna torch you down
That spirit is not broken, I′m gonna raise it up from the ground
Some hope of lust, mysteries explained
Innocence and hope are lost
I'm gonna torch it
I′m going to torch it
I'm going to torch it
I′m going to torch it with you on top
