Burn!
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I've got a sickening feeling
My life is standing still
It's clear that fate is closing in
But this is the life I choose
I've got so much time to kill
Born to lose, I'll die to win
Burn, baby, burn... 'cause it feels so good
I'm getting on my own nerves
And I get no satisfaction
'Til I light it up and I burn it down
One match lights my fire
And it starts a chain reaction
That burns my crooked past to the ground
Burn, baby, burn... 'cause it feels so good
Burn, baby, burn... like I knew it would
Fire, I've got the fire
Fire, burning desire... my desire to burn
I hear the darkness call
The sirens growing near
It's time I make my great escape
The flames are getting tall
Inside my rear-view mirror
Just a spark is all it takes
Burn, baby, burn... 'cause it feels so good
Burn, baby, burn... like I knew it would
Fire, I've got the fire
Fire, burning desire
I've got the fire, burning desire
And it burns, yeah, baby it burns
It burns; yeah, it burns, hotter than hell
Sifting the damage done
I'm burning up all the proof
I won't be going down in flames
At large, I'm on the run
They're tightening up the noose
It's too late; I need to get away
Burn, baby, burn... 'cause it feels so good
Burn, baby, burn... like I knew it would
