Lyrics

Well I was tired of always tasting all that dust you were kicking up
'Cause I just never liked how it looked upon my white skin
Oh I swear and I would testify that you just love the runaround
Baby why build a bridge if you're just gonna burn it down?
So bind me not
To the velvet of your gown
And chain me not
To your grounds
Set me free
But may your answers long leave you bound
Baby why build a bridge if you're just gonna burn it down?
Now there are reasons to believe that I am enough for anyone
And that the arsonist in you is just a cold heart trying to get warm
So while you're building fires that burn like hell
Hallelujah I've been lost and found
Baby why build a bridge if you're just gonna burn it down?
Bind me not
To the velvet of your gown
And chain me not
To your grounds
Set me free
But may your answers long leave you bound
Baby why build a bridge if you're just gonna burn it down?
Little bit by little bit my nerve is starting to turn
So it won't be long now 'til I'm the
One that lights that bridge's burn
And it'll light up like that orange western sky on the Fourth of July
Or like a comet tail that finally found its stride
'Cause I've been a pawn for way too long now
I'm a proud traitor to your crown
Baby why build a bridge if you're just gonna burn it down?
Oh bind me not
To the velvet of your gown
And chain me not
To your grounds
Set me free
Oh but may your answers long leave you bound
Baby why build a bridge if you're just gonna burn it down?
Baby why build a bridge if you're just gonna burn it down?
