Man Burning

dont stand so close to me
dont be another tragedy
Ive burned everybody who had a hand to lend
a man burning at both ends

no one put me in this hell
i lit a fire underneath myself
now im blazing the same old trail back to you again
a man burning at both ends

a dangerous thing to know about
no painless way to put me out
you either make a bed thats cold
or you're walking barefoot over coals

i regret the things ive done
bitter words and fiery tongues
and letters burned to smoke and then turned to wind
a man burning at both ends

a dangerous thing to know about
no painless way to put me out
you either make a bed thats cold
or you're walking barefoot over coals
we ran barefoot through the reeds
welted down and with the need
the tide though high and getting higher
could not put out this man on fire

one of the greatest songwriters around right now.
