Burn

i drove a brand new car

colored black and red

and a big old house

with a king-sized bed

all money could buy

was all that i had

till one day i laughed

and my woman said



you know you're playing with fire

you burned it down to the ground

down down down to the ground



i traveled in first class

anytime i chose

playing on the road

town to town show to show



and one day it all

came to a head

when she found her sister sleeping in my bed



she said you're playing with fire

you burn me down to the ground

down down to the ground



i went from black to red

all my money spent

from 5th Avenue down

to living in a room

from champagne on ice

to canned beans and rice

i lost everything i knew

just by crossing you



you said you're playing with fire

i burn it down to the ground

down down down to the ground
