Burn 03:51
I once knew this girl Prettiest thing in the world Lived in a house on a hill Killed all her pain with her pills Help me down, she said, but I just walked away My mother said, don't you know Your friends come, and they go So, keep your back to the wind Slow down, and take it all in But, don't let the days burn away just like I did (CHORUS) I'm quickly rolling away on this ghost town train It's all starting now to fade Gonna take my mind to this mountain side Keep your troubles, I'll keep mine And, I'll hide away like the wind Yes, I'll hide away like the wind The weather's looking grey again Rain cloud moving overhead Ship on the ocean rowing home While by the fire, I warm my bones Kick up your feet, my love, the night is ending soon The President waiving in the streets Everybody's bowing at his feet But, my chin I keep up off the ground Farewell, I'm leaving this old town Send my love to my father, won't you friends CHORUS

Baby, don't look down, there's a war coming on Everyone gather 'round, the days won't last long All the bombs crashing down, can't you see As you collect your guns, the sun, it goes down on me The blood I've seen hasn't helped to keep us free Men and women just like you and me As the newspaper reads this is the way peace Go sell that to those buried beneath your feet (CHORUS) Well, the rain's falling fast, better wash the blood from your hands Yeah, the wind's blowing past, can't keep track of your map in the sand Take a look around, get body count I can't take it anymore, just push me out the door I'm running away Take me now to the home of the innocent child Buried beneath the fire as you wear a smile You won't find hearts and minds won with the force of a gun You better turn away now, yeah, you better go on the run Listen to the voice talking to you Ending quite quickly, forgetting to find the truth A god dam war full of like, taking lives from your fellow man A peaceful revolution needed now, so let's all take a stand CHORUS
3.
Man takes a coin from a wishing well Says, I'm not smiling here Show me love, and I'll show you life With a happy side Then, he walks away Says, I've already paid I see that Bible in your weathered hands Still need a story to tell But, look around at the war torn ground There's nothing left to sell It's all falling down Everybody gather on around (CHORUS) Take your hands from the fire, you'll be alright Balancing high on a wire, I know it feels like you might Come crashing down But, you must keep holding on My mother's gone, and she took her smile Wish I could see it now But, friends, I know I have you 'til the end For a while, anyhow So, let's live it out Pick me up when I'm looking down You see, my sister, I still have my doubts But, I keep walking along The mountain's trees singing down to me I got my ear to the ground I can her the sounds Of all the troubles we have found CHORUS

It's looking good on the streets today Rolling one up just to burn away With my friends Marching with me until the end Laura, my love, won't you lay with me There's nothing here left for me to see I'm hoping My dreams will find you once again (CHORUS) Well, hold on I'm holding on Won't you please just sing along I don't want to feel alone Leaves are falling down past my knees Yellow, they glow through the Autumn breeze And, I feel The days are heavy, but they're real So, tell me sister, have the years been kind Drinking your poision just to ease your mind Oh, I know It's easier said, I once was told CHORUS Come step lightly now upon the road Looking for stories that have gone untold Can't you see I've lived them all before, it seems Though, I can't help you when your path gets wide Just keep on running, and you'll be fine But, God damn Keep your voice, and take a stand CHORUS
5.
Hope and ruin all I see Hope and ruin in my dreams I've fallen away I've fallen away today My head held high in the rain My head held high through the pain It's only life again It's only life again, my friends (CHORUS) And, I'm happy just because I found out I'm really noone I'm here just living free Won't you come live free with me Dance around the campfire, love Dance underneath the stars above And, pass it on around Pass it on around, let's burn one down But, don't use the memories in your mind Don't let life pass right by your eyes It's all unfolding now It's all unfolding quickly, anyhow CHORUS
