lyrics

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 this 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 set 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 set fires to my heart and I surrender

Why don'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 shadow and the spark
The raven and the lark
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 always reel me back again
This only ends up at the start
Which 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 set fires to my heart and I surrender
