(you Will) Set The World On Fire Lyrics - The Next Day - David Bowie

Midnight in the Village 

Seeger lights the candles 

From bitter end to gaslight 

Baez leaves the stage 

Ochs takes notes 

When the black girl and guitar 

Burn together hot in rage 

You've got what it takes 

You say too much 

You will set the world babe 

You will set the world on fire 

I can work the scene babe 

I can see the magazines 

l can hear the nation 

I can hear the nation cry

You will set the world babe 

You will set the world on fire 

You will set it on fire 

Kennedy would kill 

For the lines that you've written 

Van Ronk says to Bobby 

She's the next real thing 

Crouched in the half light 

Screaming like a banshee 

You're in the boat, babe 

We're in the water 

You say too much 

You will set the world babe 

You will set the world on fire 

I can work the scene babe 

I can see the magazines
