PETER GABRIEL LYRICS - Burn You Up, Burn You Down

"Burn You Up, Burn You Down"



Straight as an arrow

Carry our intentions through the wind

Dogs all around you

But your 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

Never thought we had so much time to lose

Just learning how to twist and shout

Doesn't matter much which damn beat you use

Let me tell you how it all works out

Never thought we had so much time to lose

Just learning how to twist and shout

Doesn't matter much which damn beat you use



I'll wind blows 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 'til 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)

Should know better but you keep turning up the heat



Let me tell you how it all works out

Never thought we had so much time to lose

Just learning how to twist and shout

Doesn't matter much which damn beat you use

Let me tell you how it all works out

Never thought we had so much time to lose

Just learning how to twist and shout

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, we gonna burn you down)

(Burn you up, we gonna burn you down)

Break me open, I need someone to see me

(Burn you up, we gonna burn you down)

(Burn you up, we gonna burn you down)

Make me feel it, make me feel



In the city and the rain is falling down

(Burn you up, we gonna burn you down)

(Burn you up, we gonna burn you down)

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



Let me tell you how it all works out

Never thought we had so much time to lose

Just learning how to twist and shout

Doesn't matter much which damn beat you use

Let me tell you how it all works out

Never thought we had so much time to lose

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

(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)



You can make me feel it

You can make me, you can make me, you can make me feel it

You can make me feel it

You can make me feel it

You can make me feel it...
