Side B of the "Distractions" 7 inch.

lyrics

let the fire burn, let it burn the house down
i’m done with this place, yes i’m done with this town
two tears are in my eyes, one for my bed one for my mother’s cries
my home is now the sunrise, my only daily grind

open the window, let the oxygen in
let it burn to the ground baby, i don’t want anything
nothing left to savor, to remember my past by
two tears are in my eyes, all i have left is the sunrise

i’ll stand and stare as my old life passes away
i’ll stand in the grass where i used to play
with the wind and the moon, my two best friends
now just smoky and gloom, making it come to an end

i feel your heartbeat, and you’re waiting for more
but push it wide open, yeah just knock down that front door
just save my spirit, that is all i need
everything else can go, just let it burn down please

i can go without food, i can go without a bed
i just don’t want to lose my sweet soul’d spirit
so let it burn baby, let my home burn down
just let it burn baby, let my home burn down
just let it burn baby, let my home burn down
because i’m sick of this place and i’m sick of this town

i’m gunna crawl to the trees, give my kisses goodbye
i’m gunna go where I please, i’m not gunna compromise
cause it’s all gone baby, yeah it’s burnt down to the ground
got nowhere else to go, ‘cept outside this crazy town

i’m gunna sleep with the sun
i’m gunna eat with the moon
i’m gunna talk with the stars
i’m doing it soon
you better forgive me, cause i may not say goodbye
but don’t forget me now, it’ll be long ‘til i die
cause i’m gunna breathe fresh air baby
yeah breathe fresh air for the first time
i’ll breathe fresh air for the very first time

cause this house been burnin’ down
long before you’ve been here
this house been burnin’ down
year after year

let the fire burn, let it burn the house down
cause i’m done with this place, yes i’m done with this town
two tears are in my eyes, one for my bed one for my mother’s cries
my home is now the sunrise, my only daily grind
