You're pulling out before you get burned.”

Setting Me Up
Song lyrics, Dire Straits (1978)

“Remember me? I'm the one who burned your house down

And this time I'm coming back to blow your house up
And I ain't gonna leave you with a window to jump out of!”

“If you are the dealer, I'm out of the game
If you are the healer, it means I'm broken and lame
If thine is the glory then mine must be the shame
You want it darker
We kill the flame

Magnified, sanctified, be thy holy name
Vilified, crucified, in the human frame
A million candles burning for the help that never came
You want it darker

Hineni, hineni
I'm ready, my Lord”

Leonard Cohen (1934–2016) Canadian poet and singer-songwriter
