Lyrics

Please don’t ever let me down
For you know I’m not so sure
Do I have the speed to carry on
And burn you out of my mind alone?
You’re a flame that never fades
Jungle red’s a deadly shade

Both ends burning
Will the fires meet
Somewhere deep in my soul tonight?

Both ends burning
Burning
Burn

Now my course is plain as day
Running bold at work and play
Both ends burning
With a strange desire
That feeds the fire in my soul tonight

I will dance the night away
Living only for today
Both ends burning
While you’re counting sheep
Hell, who can sleep in this heat this night?

Both ends burning Burning
Burn
Tell me, will I ever learn?

It’s too lare, the rush is on
Both ends burning
And I can’t control
The fires raging in my soul tonight

Oh will it never end?
Put your fut down ‘round the bend
Drive me crazy
To an early grave
Tell me what there is to save, tonight?

Both ends burning
Burning
Burn

Keep on burning
Till the end
Until the end
