Going Up In Flames

© 2007 Lyrics: Leigh Mullis, Music: Steve Hacker

[Verse 1]

So you lead me on and push me around and stomp on my heart.
The way you treat me, well it just tears me apart.
Now you say you don?t want me back and to get out of your life.
So I?ll sew up my back where you stuck that knife.

[Chorus]

So pour on the gasoline and just light up the matches.
And burn up what we had to ashes.
I?ll stand outside in the blazing sun and watch the embers fade out with your name.
?Cause your memory is Going Up In Flames.

[Verse 2]

I burned the clothes you left on my bedroom floor.
All the letters you left me, they don?t matter any more.
Every crackle I hear reminds me of your cold black soul.
It may seem like I?m crazy, but I?m just back in control.

[Chorus]

So pour on the gasoline and just light up the matches.
And burn up what we had to ashes.
I?ll stand outside in the blazing sun and watch the embers fade out with your name.
?Cause your memory is Going Up In Flames

[Solo]

[Bridge]

It?s funny to think that what we did and what we had has come to this
This fire behind my doublewide, well it just sends me bliss.

[Chorus]

So pour on the gasoline and just light up the matches.
And burn up what we had to ashes.
I?ll stand outside in the blazing sun and watch the embers fade out with your name.
?Cause your memory is going up?

So pour on the gasoline and just light up the matches.
And burn up what we had to ashes.
I?ll stand outside in the blazing sun and watch the embers fade out with your name.
?Cause your memory is Going Up In Flames.
