|
Don't stand so close to me |
|
Don't be another tragedy |
|
I've burned everybody who had a hand to lend |
|
A man burning at both ends |
|
No one put me in this hell |
|
I lit a fire underneath myself |
|
Now I'm blazing the same old trail back to you again |
|
A man burning at both ends |
|
A dangerous thing to know about |
|
No painless way to put me out |
|
You either make a bed that's cold |
|
Or you're walking barefoot over coals |
|
I regret the things I've done |
|
Bitter words and fiery tongues |
|
And letters burned to smoke and then turned to wind |
|
A man burning at both ends |
|
A dangerous thing to know about |
|
No painless way to put me out |
|
You either make a bed that's cold |
|
Or you're walking barefoot over coals |
|
We ran barefoot through the reeds |
|
Wetted down and with the need |
|
The tide though high and getting higher |
|
Could not put out the man on fire |
|
Look look look look look down your street for me |
|
Look look look look look up your the window please |
|
You'll see a light where before no light had been |
|
A man burning at both ends |
