"Burning Bridges" lyrics
Southall Lyrics
Just like a runaway train screaming down a one way track
All gas and no breaks, leaving town and never looking back
It was a hell of a place but I was dreaming up streets of gold
Up to my neck in the Rubicon, locked in a stranglehold
The bridges burning may light my way
And shine on all the right words to say
But it's raining on my parade
When you look up and you're all alone
Do you wish you'd never left home
And just played it safe
I made a name for myself and got stuck inside of my own skin
I'm talking straight jacket, padded room, don't know where to begin
Cause when they're getting you down my friend you gotta rattle the cage
But you gotta be thoughtful, you gotta channel your rage
The bridges burning may light my way
And shine on all the right words to say
But it's raining on my parade
When you look up and you're all alone
Do you wish you'd never left home
And just played it safe
The bridges burning may light my way
And shine on all the right words to say
But it's raining on my parade
When you look up and you're all alone
Do you wish you'd never left home
And just played it safe
All gas and no breaks, leaving town and never looking back
It was a hell of a place but I was dreaming up streets of gold
Up to my neck in the Rubicon, locked in a stranglehold
The bridges burning may light my way
And shine on all the right words to say
But it's raining on my parade
When you look up and you're all alone
Do you wish you'd never left home
And just played it safe
I made a name for myself and got stuck inside of my own skin
I'm talking straight jacket, padded room, don't know where to begin
Cause when they're getting you down my friend you gotta rattle the cage
But you gotta be thoughtful, you gotta channel your rage
The bridges burning may light my way
And shine on all the right words to say
But it's raining on my parade
When you look up and you're all alone
Do you wish you'd never left home
And just played it safe
The bridges burning may light my way
And shine on all the right words to say
But it's raining on my parade
When you look up and you're all alone
Do you wish you'd never left home
And just played it safe
