Turn off the lights, turn off the reasons   This may take awhile   Tear up the night, tear up the letters   It's better   And I've been waiting here   Patiently, patiently   To put this fire out    That's next to me, next to me   These were never my intentions   These were never my intentions      There's a fire ablaze   So burn burn baby burn down   You may call it wonderful   But I'll be on the ground   There's a fire ablaze   So burn burn baby burn down   You may call it wonderful   But I'll be on the ground      Turn off the sound, turn off excuses   This could last all night   Burn up the night, burn up the pictures   Picture this now   These were never my intentions   These were never my intentions      There's a fire ablaze   So burn burn baby burn down   You may call it wonderful   But I'll be on the ground   There's a fire ablaze   So burn burn baby burn down   You may call it wonderful   But I'll be on the ground      Oh, speak to me   When cautious comes tonight   Stay for a while   Keep me on your mind   I am drowning in the ashes of everything I've made   Standing here with nothing left to say   Stay for awhile   Are you listening?      There's a fire ablaze   So burn burn baby burn down   You may call it wonderful   But I'll be on the ground   There's a fire, there's a fire, there's a fire   I'll be on the, I'll be on the ground
