Once I was young
Once I was smart
Now I’m living on the edge of my nerves
The things we said weren’t quite so tough
When we were you
Well, I’m burning
I’m burning buildings
I’m building this time
Burn
For the art of parties
Burn
Under heavy weather
The art of parties
I’m burning burning
I’m living
I’m living my life
I’m living this time
Burn
For the art of parties
Burn
I’m burning, burning
(The wind blew through my hair)
Once I was young
(I'd shelter from the sun)
Once I was smart
(We lived on the strength of our nerves)
When we were you
Well, I’m building
I’m burning buildings
I’m burning
Burn
For the art of parties
Burn
Under heavy weather
Burn
For the art of parties
I’m burning, burning
