Burning Buildings

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
It used to be a sweet sensationNo price too high for loveNow I pay for this bitter tasteAnd the price is not enoughSuch cruel sport for your kicksSuch hard knocks on my heartHow long before the pain endsTell me where living startsAnd lovers leap off burning buildingsWaking up on a sky high wireDesperation leaves us clingingOn the edge of a house on fireLovers leap off burning buildingsLive our life on borrowed timeEvery flame that ever moved youTouched your lips but never mineLovers leap off burning buildingsNo room for conversationCold stares and angry wordsFall in pieces from our facesWe read "do not disturb"Some lovers just go hungryOthers beg for just a biteYou use me under pressure
