lyrics

when you live in this town
they all know your name
they know where you're going and from where you came
and you'll spend your whole life
trying to make them forget
i've been 20 years trying but it ain't happened yet
and i can hold onto you
all through the night
but they better not find me there by the morning light
still this feeling has burned me
all up inside
till i feel like it's only a matter of time

till it burns all the buildings for miles around
and burns everything that stood strong until now
burns all the statues - in the flames they'll go down
burns down the town

so we meet up in secret
so we meet in the dark
but when you're smothered in shadows, you can't light a spark
so baby, you get a match
and i'll show you how
tell me, what else is there we can do now

but burn all the buildings for miles around
burn everything that stood strong until now
burn all the statues - in the flames they'll go down
burn down the town

the flames are licking the sky
like it's the 4th of july
let your freedom ring

and burn all the buildings for miles around
burn everything that stood strong until now
burn you and me - in the flames we'll go down
burn down the town
