I Burn Lyrics

Driftin' upward, gently lifting
Lazy on the wind
Rollin' over, turnin' slowly
Beginning and the end

Fire is bright, fire is clean
Never so alive
Smoke is freedom, flame is mercy
I am free tonight

And I burn
I burn

Stoke the embers, cleanse the spirit
A prayer in every spark
Feel the lick of bad religion
The finish and the start

In the beginning we were smarter
And flame was heaven-sent
Through the ages we got stupid
[ The Toadies Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
Now we must repent

And I burn
I burn

Sift the ashes for reminders
Stony things remain
Tooth and bone unimpressive
I have left these things

Because fire is bright, fire is clean
Efficient and divine
Tooth and bone, charms and dolls
I am free tonight

I burn the air you breathe
I burn the air you breathe
I burn the air you breathe
I burn, I burn, I burn, I burn

Driftin' upward, gently lifting
Lazy on the wind
Rollin' over, turnin' slowly
