Lyrics
Burnt Bridge
If I had one more thing to say
And didn't feel so burnt
I stopped somewhere along the way
Silence speaks I learnt
Rock my heart, mirrors and smoke
You're a work of art and so's the bloke
Over and over time and again
Now count to ten 'n say a-men
Burn bridges burn, gravity is the law
No road to recover, no fun any more
You've taken an island, or did it take you
I guess it depends on your angle of view
While your heart it melts away
If I had one more thing to say
Scorn and envy 'till you die
If I were dumb enough to try
- instrumental -
Sky-high burn, oh burn your bridge
The town the government too
Why stop now, the bridges going back
Are high with flames you threw
I can see, just follow along
And keep it up, 'cause I know I'm not wrong
I can see you in a song
With an angel's wings and a monster's horns!
Burn your bridge and burn it good
Filled with gasoline and wood
Wood straight from the family tree
Smoke so thick that you can't see
Burn bridge burn, gravity is in store
No road to recover, no fun any more
Never any telling what you might do
It's all for nothing without a clue!
