Burn

They're putting the buses to bed
the city is dark and wet and restless
as the river tonight
There's a woman on the corner where the street light is dim
making her living 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
come on gimme some good news
come on gimme something I can use
this heart don't need another yellow bruise

Oh Baby break it, take it
don't leave me waiting
don't leave me here with the music fading
what good's a roof when the walls are caving in now?
we gotta burn it down

I miss the wild, Baby, I miss the night
the cigarette butts and the cheap red wine
kisses on my collar bone to drive me mad
if I never had it, couldn't miss it so bad
but sooner or later the record will end,
leaves you standing there wishing you could hear it again
come on Baby is the needle stuck?
Is there dust in the grooves or are we **** out of luck

Come on gimme some good news
come on gimme something I can use
this heart don't need another yellow bruise

Yeah Baby break it, take it
don't leave me waiting
don't leave me here with the music fading
what goods the roof when the walls are caving in now?
Come on burn me down
