Lyrics

[Intro]
Wooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 1]
Stole a key
Took a car downtown where the lost boys meet
Took a car downtown and took what they offered me
To set me free
I saw the lights go down at the end of the scene
Saw the lights go down and standing in front of me
[Verse 2]
Ooh, ooh
[Verse 3]
In my scarecrow dreams
When they smash my heart into smithereens
Be a bright red rose come bursting the concrete
Be a cartoon heart
[Chorus]
Light a fire, a fire, a spark
Light a fire, a flame in my heart
We'll run wild
We'll be glowing in the dark
Ooh, ooh
We'll be glowing in the dark
Ooh, ah
[Bridge]
All the boys, all the girls
All that matters in the world
All the boys, all the girls
All the madness that occurs
All the highs, all the lows
As the room a-spinning goes
We'll run riot
We'll be glowing in the dark
[Outro]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
So we'll soar luminous and wired
We'll be glowing in the dark
Written by: Brian Eno, Chris Martin, Guy Berryman, Jonny Buckland, Will Champion
