Burning Alive Songtext

von Shirley Clamp

Well here you are again
Burning a hole in me
Hole in me, soul of me
I never had a chance
Why do I try to sleep
Foolish me, foolish me
I close my ey.y.y.y.y.es
Doesn't help, might as well
Go to the li.i.i.i.i.ght
Tell myself, what the hell
There is fire on the ceiling
Of the wo... rld

And it's burning me ali... ve
Not to be with you toni... i...ght
You got me dreaming
Thinking I'm flying
But I'm just falling over again, hm
And it's just another ni... ght
I'm burning alive
I'm burning ali... i.ve

By now I ought to know
What you will do to me
Not new to me, new to me
I lock all the doors
But you get through to me
Through to me, through to me
I close my ey.y.y.y.y.es
It doesn't help, doesn't help
There is fire on the ceiling
Of the wo... o.o... rld

And it's burning me ali... i...ve
Not to be with you toni... i...i... ght
You got me dreaming
Thinking I'm flying
But I'm just falling over again, oh
And it's just another ni... ght
Burning alive
I'm burning alive

Not to be with you toni... i.i.ght
You got me dreaming
Thinking I'm flying
But I'm just falling over again, oh
You got me dreaming
And it's burning me alive
