I knew a girl with sad blue eyes put out the feast I lost my psychic prize I did forget what the tarot maid did say I burn today I burn today our house was filled with many birds she said to me I can understand their words the land will shake, so run away
(chorus) I burn today I burn today yesterday I will burn for the times I did not learn
she said have fun its time has come hold my heart strings and have yourself a strum no, nevermore this song will we play I burn today eh I burn today and as I drank in old Paris she lay her cards just to see what she would see down by the water you'll find your happy days
(chorus)
I ran so fast into the north no snow on me and so he said thenceforth, I let snow fall on frozen yesterday I burn today I burn today and if my head is hanging down I feel her arms and her legs are all around and we make love beside the waterway
(chorus)
behold the rose of Jericho how many lives I really do not know though with the rain I know it will return today I burn today I burn
