Burning Alive Songtext
von Shirley Clamp

Well, here you are again
Burning a hole in me
Hole in me, soul of me
I never had a chance, why do I try to sleep?
Foolish me, foolish me

I close my eyes, doesn′t help mine as well
Go to the light
Tell myself, what the hell?
There's fire on the ceiling of the world

And it′s burning me alive
Not to be with you tonight
You got me dreaming (ooh-ooh)
Thinking of flying (ooh-ooh)
But I'm just falling over again, mmm
And it's just another night
Oh, I′m burning alive
I′m burning alive


By now, I ought to know what you will do to me
Not new to me, new to me
I lock all the doors, but you get through to me
Through to me, through to me

I close my eyes
It doesn't help, doesn′t help
There's fire on the ceiling of the world

And it′s burning me alive
Not to be with you tonight
You got me dreaming (ooh-ooh)
Thinking of flying (ooh-ooh)
But I'm just falling over again, oh
And it′s just another night

(And it's burning me alive) burning me alive
I'm burning alive
Not to be with you tonight
You got me dreaming (ooh-ooh)
Thinking of flying (ooh-ooh)
But I′m just falling over again, oh (you got me dreaming)
And it′s burning me alive (thinking of flying)
