Burn

They're puttin' the buses to bed And the city is dark and wet and restless As the river tonight And there's a woman on the corner where the street light is dim Makin' her livin' on the wages of sin She sings like an angel, brother, that's a fact A little heaven gets loose when her voice cracks She says, "C'mon give me some good news C'mon give me somethin' I can use This heart don't need another yellow bruise" Oh baby break it, take it Don't leave me waitin' Don't leave me here with the music fadin' What good's a roof when the walls are cavin' in now We gotta burn it down I miss the wild baby, I miss the night The cigarette butts and the cheap red wine And kisses on my collar bone, to drive me mad If I never had it, couldn't miss it so bad Yeah but sooner or later the record will end Leaves you standin' there wishin' you could hear it again C'mon baby is the needle stuck? Is there dust in the grooves, are we shit outta luck? C'mon give me some good news C'mon give me somethin' I can use This heart don't need another yellow bruise Oh baby break it, take it Don't leave me waitin' Don't leave me here with the music fadin' What good's a roof when the walls are cavin' in now We gotta burn it down Yeah baby break it, take it Don't leave me waitin' Don't leave me here with the music fadin' What good's a roof when the walls are cavin' in now Come on burn me down
