REM - Burning Down lyrics

rate me

]from the back of my neckoh oh oh

Wired a glass jawoh oh

Plantation burning your boat is coming in

Strum your jew's-harpyou're reeking gin

Running water in a sinking boat

Going under but they've got your goat

Burning down - my hands are tied my feet are bound

Burning down - can't you see that my hands are bound

Johnny mike is reading in the yard

His story's timelyoh oh oh

What river is it anywayradio

Not in a boatin your ear

Running water in a sinking boat

Going under but they've got your goat

Burning down - my hands are tied my feet are bound

Burning down - can't you see that my hands are bound

You pick your island in the sun

Take your island off he's got a gun

Burning down - my hands are tied my feet are bound

Burning down - can't you see that my hands are bound

He's cooking in the woodsa brush fire in your neck

Feeling mighty mightyoh oh oh

You can pick your island in the sun

Take your island off he's got a gun

Running water in a sinking boat

Going under but they've got your goat

Burning down - my hands are tied my feet are bound

Burning down - can't you see that my hands are bound
