Lyrics

Born in a manger
You're getting stranger everyday
Uncertain chancer
You're sending everything astray
You're certain danger
You're a monsoon and a fire
All in one
Got me on the run

There's a distant light
(Distant light)
A forest fire burning everything in sight
(Easy fight)
We pick it up in space with survey satellite
(Survey satellite, looking at you)
You're turning every modern theory
On its head
(Survey satellite, looking at you)
Leaving me for dead

You're so demanding
You've got me fumbling for escape
I'm understanding
But I'm afraid it's all too late
To find a meaning
You're blowing everything away
From coast to coast
Got me much too close

There's a distant light
(Distant light)
A forest fire burning everything in sight
(Easy fight)
We pick it up in space with survey satellite
(Survey satellite, looking at you)
You're turning every modern theory
On its head
(Survey satellite, looking at you)
Leaving me for dead

Don't worry me, or hurry me
Blow me far away to the northern lights (x5)
Abandon me, abandon me
Blow me far away to the northern lights
You rain on me, you rain on me
Blow me far away to the northern lights
Abandon me, abandon me
Blow me far away to the northern lights
Don't worry me, or hurry me
Blow me far away to the northern lights
Don't worry me, or hurry me
Blow me far away to the northern lights
Don't worry me, or hurry me
