You can do it, you can do it
you can do it alone
you can try it, you can try it
but you know it is wrong
how long will this fi - re burn?
INTERLUDE 1
how long will this fi - re burn?
verse 2
We were moving, we were moving
and had somewhere to go
We were changing destination
hunting high and low
You deny it, you deny it,
but it's all in my head
Is it over now, is it over now?
Love is such a mon - ster, love -
be careful where you step,
Be careful where you lay down boy, lay down
verse 3
We were giving, we were giving
everything that we knew,
gotta give us, gotta give us
something else to do
We were trying, we were trying
'cause you told us to
Gotta give us, gotta give us
something else to do
how long will this fi - re burn?
INTERLUDE 2
how long will this fi - re burn?
verse 4
See I'm working and I'm working
and it's not gonna change
This affection is a problem;
it will leave you deranged
Had a vision, had a mission
but it's all in my head
It is over now, it is over now
Love is such a mon - ster, love -
be careful where you step,
Be careful where you lay down boy, lay down
VERSE 5 (almost identical to verse 3)
We were giving, we were giving
everything that we knew,
gotta give us, gotta give us
something else to do
We were trying, we were trying
'cause you told us to
Gotta give us, gotta give us
something else to do
INTERLUDE 3
How long will this fi - re burn?
We ought to make a change my friend
How long will this fi - re burn?
We tear apart, we do not mend
How long will this fi - re burn?
We ought to make a change my friend
How long will this fi - re burn?
We tear apart, we do not mend
How long will this fi - re burn?
