Burn You Up, Burn You Down - Peter Gabriel

Straight as an arrow

Carry our intentions through the wind

Dogs all around you

But you’re gonna get the message to your friend

At every rendezvous, you keep on looking around

Nighttime in the city and the rain keeps falling down

Let me tell you how it all works out

I never thought we had so much time to lose

Just learning how to twist and shout

It doesn’t matter much which damn beat you use

Let me tell you how it all works out

I never thought we had so much time to lose

Just learning how to twist and shout

It doesn’t matter much which damn beat you use

Heaven knows the road to go

How many times we’ve told you so

Burn you up, and I’ll burn you down

Burn you up, and I’ll burn you down

No rhyme or reason

No way to make it easy till it’s done

Burn you up, and I’ll burn you down

Burn you up, and I’ll burn you down

So you cross onto the other side of the street

Burn you up, and I’ll burn you down

Burn you up, and I’ll burn you down

You should know better than to keep turning up the heat

Let me tell you how it all works out

I never thought we had so much time to lose

Just learning how to twist and shout

It doesn’t matter much which damn beat you use

Let me tell you how it all works out

I never thought we had so much time to lose

Just learning how to twist and shout

It doesn’t matter much which damn beat you use

Oh-oh-ai-ai

Hey hey hey hey

Make me feel this

Hey hey hey hey

Hey-ey Hey Hey

Hey hey hey hey

Make me feel it

Hey hey hey hey

When they lose you, it can bruise you

Burn you up, and I’ll burn you down

Burn you up, and I’ll burn you down

Break me open, I need someone to see me

Burn you up, and I’ll burn you down

Burn you up, and I’ll burn you down

Make me feel it, make me feel

In the city and the rain is falling down

Burn you up, and I’ll burn you down

Burn you up, and I’ll burn you down

You can make it happen, with your eyes, with your eyes alone

Burn you up, and I’ll burn you down

Burn you up, and I’ll burn you down

Let me tell you how it all works out

I never thought we had so much time to lose

Just learning how to twist and shout

It doesn’t matter much which damn beat you use

Let me tell you how it all works out

I never thought we had so much time to lose

Just learning how to twist and shout

It doesn’t matter much which damn beat you use

Break me open

Let me tell you how it all works out

Never thought we had so much time to lose

Make me feel it

(Just learning how to twist and shout)

(Doesn't matter much which damn beat you use)

Break me open

(Let me tell you how it all works out)

(Never thought we had so much time to lose)

Make me feel it

(You make me feel it)

(Just learning how to twist and shout)

(Doesn't matter much which damn beat you use)
