Bridges Burning - The Mission

Snow blind, dog tired

Slow grind, and barbed wired

Last chant of the jungle trance

And the fast step of the monkey dance craze

War paint, misty days and dizzy faint

Keeping the faith, spinning and turning

Watch the flames

Of bridges burning

Turning colors and shedding skin

Shining bright through thick and thin

Mirror of Gods, legend and myth

The fatal charm of the treasured

Gift wrapped and heaven sent

Sun trapped on islands of intent

Avenging angel of the wild and yearning

Stoke the flames

Of bridges burning

It’s burning me over

Bridges burning

Burning, drives me wild

Yearning for the snow child

Blind men cry but shed no tears

See no evil but speak in tongues

And hearsay all lovers leap

'Cause there’s no other way across waters deep

Fuel the fire and the fool is learning

To run from the flames

Of bridges burning
