love’s a burning thing   makes an old man sing   burns you from within   and turns a bright face grim   carves like meat your skin   love takes back   ship turns wreck   crawls your back   and loses track   why don’t you   fire your crew   guide them through the wandering   you’re a free ride   in a dead end street   love’s a burning thing   no way to extinct   boil it to the brim but   don’t you wear that crown   love will take you down   love’s a burning thing   pour the gas to win   light the match of sin   but just when you begin   hate comes crawling in   all you’ll get   good or bad   wipe the red   from your pale eyes   lust and vice   random highs   overlooking skies   you’re a blue bird   in a pitch black sky   love’s a burning thing   burns you from within   carving meat like skin if   you know where you’ve been   you don’t wear that ring
