    PLAYLIST TIME:

    I Burn

    by: Toadies

    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
    'n flame was heaven-sent
    Through the ages
    We got stupid
    Now we must repent
    And I burn
    I burn
    Save 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
