A Rush of Blood to the Head

He said, "I'm gonna buy this place and burn it down

I'm gonna put it six feet underground"

He said, "I'm gonna buy this place and watch it fall

Stand here beside me, baby, in the crumbling walls"

Oh, I'm gonna buy this place and start a fire

Stand here until I fill all your heart's desires

Because I'm gonna buy this place and see it burn

And do back the things it did to you in return

He said, "I'm gonna buy a gun and start a war

If you can tell me something worth fighting for"

"Oh, and I'm gonna buy this place," is what I said

Blame it upon a rush of blood to the head

Honey, all the movements you're starting to make

See me crumble and fall on my face

And I know the mistakes that I made

See it all disappear without trace

And they call as they beckon you on

They said start as you mean to go on

Start as you mean to go on

He said, "I'm gonna buy this place and see it go

Stand here beside me, baby, watch the orange glow"

Some will laugh, and some just sit and cry

But you just sit down there and you wonder why

So I'm gonna buy a gun and start a war

If you can tell me something worth fighting for

"And I'm gonna buy this place," is what I said

Blame it upon a rush of blood to the head

Oh, to the head, oh

Honey, all the movements you're starting to make

See me crumble and fall on my face

And I know the mistakes that I made

See it all disappear without trace

And they call as they beckon you on

They say start as you mean to go on

As you mean to go on

As you mean to go on

So meet me by the bridge

Oh, meet me by the lane

When am I gonna see that pretty face again?

Oh, meet me on the road

Meet me where I said

Blame it all upon a rush of blood to the head
