Burn 作词:Jocelyn Jager Adams, Benjamin Knox Miller, Jeffrey Carl Prystowsky
Did I burn each last bit of myself? Did I turn my back on the kid in myself? And tear the oldest root in a charlatan's pursuit And the world drifting farther away
On the run with nowhere to ride The black angel still clings by my side You know he's faster than any man And the world always drifting farther away
What I told you lover, I guess that I meant By the time that you read this I will have repented I know I am a fool for trying to play it cruel While you played so much kinder than I
Your memory now is the shadow to my shadow
I wind it tight like a player piano Your skirt above your knees, I watch you press the keys It calms the smarting flesh of the wound we have undressed
If still there's a song deep in this marrow Who lets you draw that last shivering arrow? What kind of smarting loon believes that he can shoot the moon? Calm these frailing nerves, they ask to be preserved
And I was just ashamed and mute There fumbling around for my parachute And gliding through the rain, not a drop could leave its stain While the world drifting farther away
