Lyrics

Once I was young Once I was smart Now I'm living on the edge of my nerves The things we said weren't quite so tough When we were young Well, I'm burning I'm burning buildings I'm building this time Oh-oh-oh For the art of parties Oh-oh-oh Under heavy weather Oh-oh-oh For the art of parties Oh-oh-oh I'm burning, burning I'm living, I'm living my high life I'm living this time Oh-oh-oh For the art of parties Oh-oh-oh I'm burning, burning The wind blew through my hair (Once I was young) I'd shelter from the sun (Once I was smart) We lived on the strength of our nerves When we were young Well, I'm building I'm burning buildings I'm burning Oh-oh-oh For the art of parties Oh-oh-oh Under heavy weather Oh-oh-oh For the art of parties Oh-oh-oh I'm burning I'm, I'm burning Oh-oh-oh For the art of parties Oh-oh-oh I'm burning, burning Oh-oh-oh For the art of parties Oh-oh-oh I'm burning, just burning Oh-oh-oh For the art of parties Oh-oh-oh I'm burning, burning Oh-oh-oh For the art of parties Oh-oh-oh I'm burning, burning
