Mike Doughty - (I Want To) Burn You (Down) Lyrics

Something is reaching me now
Something that lives in the dark of my mind
It's like a small thought is gone
It's like a millstone ground it to sand

And hey soothsayer, listen up
You don't know who I am
Old friend, what if you were right?
Don't wanna be that man

Never known to nap, not gonna sleep it out
I wanna burn you, yes, I wanna burn you down

I have a troublesome girl
She treats me like a parole officer
And she checks in from time to time
Always insisting everything is fine

And hey pit boss, listen here
Don't up and throw me out
Oh darling, back me up
Markers showing the route

Never known to nap, not gonna sleep it out
I wanna burn you, yes, I wanna burn you
Japanese cowboys put their snowsuits on
I wanna burn you, yes, I'm gonna burn you down
Yes, I'm gonna burn you down
