I wish that I was you
I wish that you were dead
I wish I was alive
At least inside your head
I'll set fire to the past
Park across the street
And sit and watch it burn

I saw you on a train
The train was heading south
South of you and me
And me, I shut my mouth
The churches that we build

We burn - and burn and burn and burn
and burn again
We burn - and burn and burn and burn
and burn again

I wish the kid was grown
And walking on this earth
Looking just like you
And looking like myself
The bridges that we build

We burn - and burn and burn and burn
and burn again
We burn - and burn and burn and burn
and burn again

And burn and burn and burn
and burn again
And burn and burn and burn
and burn again

I wish that I was you
I wish that you were dead
I wish I was alive
At least inside your head
I'll set fire to the past
Park across the street
And sit and watch it burn

And burn and burn and burn
and burn again
We burn - and burn and burn and burn
and burn again
We burn - and burn and burn and burn
and burn again

And nothing you can do
Nothing you can say
Will ever change my mind
