Burned Down - KSLV Noh

Weren't you there when the carousel burnt down? The fire and confusion, the smoke and the sound I swear you there when the carousel burnt down We were all around The rings charred and tarnished all over the ground And our heads hung down And we all left town The next day The children all cried when the carousel burnt down The old ladies sighed as the carousel burnt down The rest of us lied as the carousel burnt down And the flames did fly The pipes steamed and shrieked out a blazing goodbye As the boiler died And they melted down The midway And we all left town the next day And we all left town the next day And we all left town the next day And we all left town the next day And we all left town the next day

She burned me down, down to the ground She burned me down, down to the ground Blood - though thicker than water - is harder to clean up You'll get it in the end boy if the weapon of choice is love Expecting it from a stranger or maybe an acquaintance Never from family or friends though a simple mistake and expense She burned me down, down to the ground She burned me down, down to the ground Pissed and disappointed I prey to learn to forgive If I can't find it in my heart then I have no reason to live Here is an education - the lesson professed is quite cruel There are some things worse than death and one of them is you (one of them is you) Every time I see her start a fire I get higher Every time I see her start a fire I get higher Every time, yes every time I see... I get... Every time I see her start a fire I get higher Higher Every time I see her start a fire I get higher Every time I see her start a fire I get higher Every time, yes every time I see... I get... Every time I see her start a fire I get higher Higher Every time, yes every time I see... I get... Every time I see her start a fire I get higher Higher Every time I see her start a fire I get higher Every time I see her start a fire I get high...

You tell me that I'm crazy Doin' this alone You don't need to save me Oh, how I have grown I am capable of everything you can see But now I want to change Just blow out the candles Oh, little boy, when will you learn?

Burned off in the heat of an afternoon After six weeks straight soaked to the bone I was trembling, wondering could that knob still turn By this ash hand, or would the motion mask the room in a grey winter Does the silence and the sill know When will the wind blow? When will the wind blow? When will it burn off? When will it burn off? When will it burn off? When will it burn off? When will it burn off? When will it burn off? When will it burn off? When will it burn off? Shaken, but couldn't shake it off of me Saw it, cloud of levity You were the nightingale, I was the wretched rail that takes the train away To chase elusive dollar on some breathless day And then it burns off And then it burns off And then it burns off And then it burns off And then it burns off Why does it burn off Why does it burn off I must take a drink before I meet the man I am said to become Intertia's crocodile opens the door and you're eclipsed by the sun Burned off in the heat of an afternoon After six weeks straight soaked to the bone
