Black Spark - Sam Roberts Band

You never miss your mark

Undercover you’re a black spark girl

Setting fires in the dark

Sowing chaos in the heart

Why don’t we step outside

Before the fever breaks

Let’s see what you can give

Let’s see what I can take

You’re a black spark

I’m a pretender

You’re setting fires in the dark and I surrender

You’re a black spark

I’m a pretender

You’re setting fire to my heart and I surrender

What if the kind of love we dream of

Two broken hearts can’t make

Let’s see who wins the war between

The lion and the snake

I’ve fooled myself for too long baby

Someone like you could never save me

Shapeshifting girl you’re always changing

While my world keeps rearranging

It’s such a strange thing

You’re a black spark

I’m a pretender

You’re setting fires in the dark and I surrender

You’re a black spark

I’m a pretender

You’re setting fire to my heart and I surrender

And you’re walking alone like a queen with no throne

Only trying to get home to you baby

In the fog, in the clear

Always far, always near

All these walls would disappear with you baby

Oh won’t you let me go

I can’t withstand the blow

I’ve got no grip to hold

I’ve got no hand to fold

The raven and the lark

The shadow and the spark

This love is like a car crash, an old fashioned brawl

Oh won’t you set me free

Why can’t you let me be

It’s either white flags or body bags for you and me

Unlock the cage and set me loose

I’ve tried escape but what’s the use?

The water’s deep and I can’t swim

You only reel me back again

This only ends up at the start

With shattered dreams and broken hearts

And you hit me with your poison dart

And I find myself falling again with my fate in the hands of the Black Spark

You’re a black spark

I’m a pretender

You’re setting fires in the dark and I surrender

You’re a black spark

I’m a pretender

You’re setting fire to my heart and I surrender

You’re a black spark

I’m a pretender

You’re setting fires in the dark and I surrender

You’re a black spark

I’m a pretender

You’re setting fire to my heart and I surrender

And you’re walking alone like a queen with no throne

Only trying to get home to you baby

In the fog, in the clear

Always far, always near

All these walls would disappear with you baby
