[Verse 1]
I am born in the reeds, I m an idea of magnitude
Giving birth to itself ad infinitum
I am Jefferson s torch in a bright, stellar majesty
[Chorus]
Oh I m burning, oh I m burning, oh I m burning
Yes I m burning, oh I m burning, yes I m burning for thee
[Verse 2]
We were measured in the dark by timetabled tragedy
There s a real turn of age in disaster
Now I m firing a well our politicians gave to ruin
[Chorus]
Till I m burning, oh I m burning, yes I m burning
Oh I m burning, oh I m burning, yes I m burning for thee
[Bridge]
River run run run run run run run river through me
Through the mud mud mud mud mud
Let me feel, let me feel, let me feel you
[Interlude]

[Chorus]
Oh I m burning, oh I m burning, oh I m burning
Yes I m burning, oh I m burning, oh I m burning for thee
[Bridge]
River run run run run run run run river through me
Through the mud mud mud mud mud
Let me feel, let me feel, let me feel you

[Verse 3]
Now come out from your cups, find your love in the doorways
Have a care to fill the vessel of your heart
Hold me tight through the storms
And the winds of revolution
[Chorus]
And always burning, oh he s burning, oh he s burning
Oh he s burning, yes he s burning, oh he s burning
Oh he s burning, yes he s burning, oh he s burning for thee
[Interlude 3]
