We'll Burn Together Songtext
von Robbie Fulks

My friends all said I'd pay,
My wife begged me to stay
But I couldn't tear my self away from you
(So we bear our cross in shame)
(Maybe we'll go down in flames,)
(But we'll burn together, if we do.)
For the sweet forbidden wine our lips were yearning
*So we left behind the happy homes we knew*
(Just to sell our wretched souls)
(For a king-size bed of coals)
(And we'll burn together, me and you.)
...


*Now, behind us, through the haze*
*We can see the trail we've blazed*
*Like scattered ruins our children sadly lie*
(But if we left the fires of home)
(For a match that won't last long)
(Then we'll burn together 'til we die.)
No earthly power could keep my lips from yours, dear
*No one alive could pry my heart from you*
(Let the chips fall where they will)
(Let the wicked burn in Hell)
(And we'll burn together if they do.)
(Yes, we'll burn together, me and you.)
