Lyrics

[Verse 1]
These are my famous last words
My number's up, bridges will burn
[Verse 2]
Oh, won't you let me twist your faith?
It's getting kinda late
And I don't wanna wait no more
Oh, may I have this dance of days?
Locked in your embrace
Passed your test of faith
[Verse 3]
Another time, another place
Another line upon your face
Another in your way
[Verse 4]
Down crooked stairs and sideway glances
Comes the king of second chances
Now throw him in the flame
[Verse 5]
Whatever keeps you warm at night
(Whatever keeps you warm at night)
Whatever keeps you warm inside
[Verse 6]
Your bridges are burning down
They're all coming down
It's all coming 'round
You're burning them down
It's all coming 'round
They're all coming down
Your bridges are burning down
[Verse 7]
Oh, let me put you in your place
I love it when you say
I'm giving everything away, but
[Verse 8]
Tell me, what's in it for me?
Tell me now, what's in it for me?
No one's getting this for free
So tell me now, what's in it for me?
[Verse 9]
Whatever keeps you warm at night
(Whatever keeps you warm at night)
Whatever keeps you warm inside
[Verse 10]
Your bridges are burning down
They're all coming down
It's all coming 'round
You're burning them down
It's all coming 'round
They're all coming down
Your bridges are burning down
[Verse 11]
Gathering the ashes
Everything thrown away
Gathering the ashes
Scatter as they blow away
[Verse 12]
Gathering the ashes
Everything thrown away
Gathering the ashes
Scatter as they blow away
[Verse 13]
Your bridges are burning down
They're all coming down
It's all coming 'round
You're burning them down
It's all coming 'round
They're all coming down
[Verse 14]
Your bridges are burning down
(Gathering the ashes
Everything thrown away)
They're all coming down
(Gathering the ashes)
It's all coming 'round
(Scatter as they blow away)
You're burning them down
(Gathering the ashes
Everything thrown away)
It's all coming 'round
(Gathering the ashes)
They're all coming down
(Scatter as they blow away)
Your bridges are burning down
