Bridge Burning

These are my famous last words!
My number's up, bridges well burned
Why won't you let me twist your faith?
It's getting kinda late but I don't wanna wait no more
Oh may I have this dance of day
Locked in your embrace
Passed your test of faith
Another time another place
Another line upon your face
Another in your way
Down crooked chairs and sideways glances
Comes the king of second chances
Now throw him in the flame
Whatever keeps you warm at night
(Whatever keeps you warm at night)
Whatever keeps you warm inside
Your bridges are burning down
They're all coming down
It's all coming round
You're burning them down
It's all coming round
They're all coming down
Your bridges are burning now
Oh let me put you in your place
I love it when you say
Giving everything away
Tell me now, what's in it for me?
Tell me now, what's in it for me?
No one's getting this for free
So tell me now what's in it for me!
Whatever keeps you warm at night
(Whatever keeps you warm at night)
Whatever keeps you warm inside
Your bridges are burning down
They're all coming down
It's all coming round
You're burning them down
It's all coming round
They're all coming down
Your bridges are burning down
Gather in the ashes
Everything thrown away
Gather in the ashes
Scatter as they blow away
Gather in the ashes
Everything thrown away
Gather in the ashes
Scatter and they blow away
Your bridges are burning down
They're all coming down
It's all coming round
You're burning them down
They're all coming down
It's all coming round
Gather in the ashes
(Your bridges are burning down)
Everything thrown away
(They're all coming down)
Gather in the ashes
(It's all coming round)
Scatter as they blow away
Gather in the ashes
(Your bridges are burning down)
Everything thrown away
(It's all coming round)
Gather in the ashes
(They're all coming down)
Scatter as they blow away
Your bridges are burning down
