Burn Out lyrics
You sent me a letter I didn’t understand
Delivered by a dyslexic postman
Said you’d tried and sentenced me for not loving you
Are you my judge and executioner too?
I gave you all I had left in the tank
You went laughing all the way to the bank
Heading for a burn out
Heading for a fall
Crashing head first into a stone wall
Heading for a burn out
Heading for a fall
Crashing head first into a stone wall
Even though I slumber with one eye open
See my field of vision is slightly broken
And though you might think that I am sleeping
Can you check if I am still breathing?
And if my bleeding heart’s still beating
My heart was anything but cheating
Heading for a burn out
Heading for a fall
Crashing head first into a stone wall
Heading for a burn out
Heading for a fall
Crashing head first into a stone wall
Crashing head first into a stone wall
I’m just an ordinary man
Trying to get by as best I can
A mid-life crisis we might be facing
And our own tails we might be chasing
The car’s revved up and raring to go
Though the head gasket’s starting to blow
I still have the postcard that said ‘wish you were here’
Hard to accept that you’ll never be near
Sometimes it’s hard to want to keep on keeping on
When everyone you’ve ever loved has left and gone
When the road that you are on bends and winds
They say that we’re all bound to crash sometimes
Heading for a burn out
Heading for a fall
Crashing head first into a stone wall
Heading for a burn out
Heading for a fall
Crashing head first into a stone wall
Heading for a burn out
Heading for a fall
Crashing head first into a stone wall
Heading for a burn out
Heading for a fall
Crashing head first into a stone wall
