Tear up the world. Rip it straight down.
Try to get reaction.
Talk about things you’ve never seen.
You’re the main attraction.
I’m counting to ten. Back to zero again.
Trouble arrives. You let down your guard.
It leads you out to the graveyard.
The hours in a day just let down your heart.
You’re burning out like a falling star.
I’m sure I’ll tune your voice out soon.
I don’t want to hear you.
You’re sitting tight at the end of a kite.
We pretend to listen.
I’m counting to ten. Back to zero again.
Trouble arrives. You let down your guard.
It leads you out to the graveyard.
The hours in a day just let down your heart.
You’re burning out like a falling star.
It’s always been the same with you around.
You’re taken limb from limb, and who’s to blame?
Trouble arrives. You let down your guard.
It leads you out to the graveyard.
The hours in a day just let down your heart.
You’re burning out like a falling...
You’re burning out like a falling star.
