Let It Burn

I can hear the telephone

Let it ring, let it ring

Because I want to be alone

Let it ring

And the television's on

Let it run, let it run

Because the fascination's gone

Let it run

A storm is coming on

I say let it come

Because my one and only's gone

Let it come

The oil wells they burn

Because there's money to be earned

And I can never learn

Let it burn

I can hear the radio

Let it play, let it play

Because I've got no place to go

Let it play

And the singers on tv

Let them sing, let them sing

Because I let you go free

Let them sing

And still I was surprised

When I looked into your eyes

I knew it all was lies

It was lies

The oil wells they burn

Because there's money to be earned

And I can never learn

Let it burn
