Burst out in Flames Songtext

von Tom Levin

I put my makeup on
Rehearsing every word
I straighten my shirt, let out my hair
Knees are shaking
My mouth is getting dry
Breath of hope is in the air
It's taken all I have
To get on this stage
My whole life for this night
Can you hear my heart, time standing still
As I sing with all my might
As I sing with all my might
Say you love me
That they will love me
Oh, to hear them cry my name
Say you love me
And the crowd will love me
And now I'll burst out in flames
Burst out in flames
As the janitor
Who's sweeping up the floor
On an empty stage I stand
All the bowling balls
The sticks and the stones
I sing out once again
I sing out once again
Say you love me
That they will love me
Oh, to hear them cry my name
Say you love me
And the crowd will love me
And now I'll burst out in flames
There's fire in my veins
Burst into flames
Fire in my veins
In my veins
Say you love me
That they will love me
Oh, to hear them cry my name
Say you love me
And the crowd will love me
And now I'll burst out in flames
Say you love me
That they will love me
Oh, to hear them cry my name
Say you love me
And the crowd will love me
Am I a moth to the flame?
