Burning Buildings |
| It used to be a sweet sensation |
| No price too high for love |
| Now I pay for this bitter taste |
| And the price is not enough |
| Such cruel sport for your kicks |
| Such hard knocks on my heart |
| How long before the pain ends |
| Tell me where living starts |
| And lovers leap off burning buildings |
| Waking up on a sky high wire |
| Desperation leaves us clinging |
| On the edge of a house on fire |
| Lovers leap off burning buildings |
| Live our life on borrowed time |
| Every flame that ever moved you |
| Touched your lips but never mine |
| Lovers leap off burning buildings |
| No room for conversation |
| Cold stares and angry words |
| Fall in pieces from our faces |
| We read «do not disturb» |
| Some lovers just go hungry |
| Others beg for just a bite |
| You use me under pressure |
| To whet your appetite |
