Burned
Neil Young · Decade [1990]
and with both feet
on the ground,
I've learned
that it's painful
comin' down.
No use runnin' away,
and there's no time
left to stay.
Now I'm finding out
that it's so confusin',
No time left
and I know I'm losin'.
Flashed
and I think
I'm fallin' down,
Crashed,
and my ears
can't hear a sound.
No use runnin' away,
and there's no time
left to stay.
Now I'm finding out
that it's so confusin',
No time left
and I know I'm losin'.
Now I'm finding out
that it's so confusin',
No time left
and I know I'm losin'.
Burned
and with both feet
on the ground.
I've learned
that it's painful
comin' down.
No use runnin' away,
and there's no time
left to stay.
Now I'm finding out
that it's so confusin',
No time left
and I know I'm losin'.
