  • 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)

    I'm a hunter at bay
    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) Writer/s: Alexander Ebert
