Song Lyrics

(Burn... burn... burn...)

So if I blaze a trail
Hammer the final nail
So if I shake you off my tail
How can I fail?

Down, pretty bridges burn, all my bridges burnt
Burnt down pretty bridges burn all my bridges burnt

Nausea the vertical climb
A fatal flaw in the design
I can't be sure that you'll open the door to me
The double indemnity

(Burn... burn... burn...)

A mouthful of pleasurable sensation
Shaken by sheer anticipation
Glad you asked me, I had to dash, you see
It's been a blast

(Burn)

All my bridges burn
All my pretty bridges burn
Each one in their turn
All my pretty bridges burn
Burn, pretty bridges burn
All my bridges burn
Will I ever learn?
Watch all my pretty bridges burn

Hysterical look at this chaos
All that I had and all that I lost
You are feeling sleepy
Very very sleepy

Down, pretty bridges burn, all my bridges burnt
Burnt down pretty bridges burn all my bridges burnt
Burnt down pretty bridges burn all my bridges burnt

As for the bitter taste
Let it vanish into the flames
Don't let it go to waste
All the places and the names
This is the master stroke
Raised to the ground
And it all goes up in smoke
All my bridges burn

All my bridges burn
All my pretty bridges burn
Each one in their turn
All my pretty bridges burn
Burn, pretty bridges burn
All my bridges burn
Will I ever learn?
Watch all my pretty bridges burn

Down, pretty bridges burn, all my bridges burnt
Burnt down pretty bridges burn all my bridges burnt [x3]

(Burn...)

All my bridges burn
All my pretty bridges burn
Each one in their turn
All my pretty bridges burn
Burn, pretty bridges burn
All my bridges burn
Will I ever learn?
Watch all my pretty bridges burn

(Burn... burn... burn...)
