Burn It Down

(album: Bi-Polar Blues - 1999)

I drove a brand new car
Colored black and red
And a big old house
With a king-sized bed
All money could buy
Was all that I had
Till one day I laughed
And my woman said

You know you're playing with fire
You burned it down to the ground
Down down down to the ground

I traveled in first class
Anytime I chose
Playing on the road
Town to town show to show

And one day it all
Came to a head
When she found her sister sleeping in my bed

She said you're playing with fire
You burn me down to the ground
Down down to the ground

I went from black to red
All my money spent
From 5th Avenue down
To living in a room
From champagne on ice
To canned beans and rice
I lost everything I knew
Just by crossing you

You said you're playing with fire
I burn it down to the ground
Down down down to the ground
