Burn down my bridges I will never need again It's impossible to live with them Planting seeds of restlessness in the minds of lesser men
In the dark of night my shadow withers from my feet And reveals to me the inner me, leaving no retreat Leaving no retreat, leaving no retreat
And I scramble backwards, to the bridges I return Now wish that I had reinforced instead of burned Overcome, I seek the help of friends that I have spurned And realize what happened, there is a lesson to be learned
And all your friends around you keep the circle tight 'cause when the music knocks you down, they'll keep you upright And though I'm almost certain that this town has got a name Sometime after sunset, they all become the same Aometime after sunset, they all become the same They all become the same
