Story Behind the Song
Lyrics
[VERSE 1]
Nothing in this world can make my eyes turn black and blue
Like the way they do when I stare through the smoked up, mirrored room
The fool's alive with flaming thought all sentiments are crude
With the stench of sweat and winter and a biting crowd, who
[CHORUS]
Says to me 'you gotta turn it up' (turn it up)
Everybody wants to live it up (live it up)
Prays to end the day, prays to end the day
Prays to end the day, burn it up
[VERSE 2]
Burning down the road in darkness, midnight blue
Oooh! Flesh and pavement combine to subdue my view
Now there's nothing left of me here but thoughts and a pair of shoes
And I'm swinging from the final vein, the one that breaks the news
[CHORUS]
Everybody says that I am stuck (I am stuck)
Lying here my mind is not made up (not made up)
Let your body sway, let your body sway
Let your body sway, burn it up
[INTERLUDE]
Burning like a cigarette, of course I burn with no intent
But no intent means no regret, no fire, no ash, no discontent
No useless diatribes, your words are so contrived
[VERSE 3]
Scraping up the pieces of this place I've come to loathe
And from the time I came here, man, I've staggered off the road
Off the beaten track, but now my sanity I own
Because there's nothing that can take me back, at least nothing I chose
[CHORUS]
Bite your tongue and let it burn you up (burn it up)
Take that shot and empty out your cup (burn it up)
Everybody prays, everybody sways
Light that match, burn it up (burn it up)
Bite your tongue and let it burn you up (burn it up)
Take that shot and empty out your cup (burn it up)
Everybody prays, everybody sways
Strike that thought, burn it up
