Peter Gabriel - Burn You Up, Burn You Down lyrics

Straight as an arrow
Carry our intentions through the wind
Dogs all around you but you're gonna get the
Message to your friend

At every rendezvous
You keep on looking around
Nighttime in the city and the
Rain keeps falling down

Let me tell you how it all works out
I never thought we had so much time to lose
Just learning how to twist and shout
It doesn't matter much which
Damn beat you use
Let me tell you how it all works out
I never thought we had so much time to lose
Just learning how to twist and shout
It doesn't matter much which
Damn beat you use

Heaven knows the road to go
How many times we've told you so
(Burn you up, and I'll burn you down
Burn you up, and I'll burn you down)
No rhyme or reason
No way to make it easy till it's done
(Burn you up, and I'll burn you down
Burn you up, and I'll burn you down)

So you cross onto the other
Side of the street
(Burn you up, and I'll burn you down
Burn you up, and I'll burn you down)
You should know better than to
Keep turning up the heat

Let me tell you how it all works out
I never thought we had so much time to lose
Just learning how to twist and shout
It doesn't matter much which
Damn beat you use
Let me tell you how it all works out
I never thought we had so much time to lose
Just learning how to twist and shout
It doesn't matter much which
Damn beat you use

Oh oh-ai-ai (Hey hey hey hey)
Make me feel this (Hey hey hey hey)
Hey-ey Hey Hey (Hey hey hey hey)
Make me feel it (Hey hey hey hey)
When they lose you, it can bruise you
(Burn you up, and I'll burn you down
Burn you up, and I'll burn you down)
Break me open, I need someone to see me
(Burn you up, and I'll burn you down
Burn you up, and I'll burn you down)
Make me feel it, make me feel

In the city and the rain is falling down
(Burn you up, and I'll burn you down
Burn you up, and I'll burn you down)
You can make it happen, with your eyes
With your eyes alone
(Burn you up, and I'll burn you down
Burn you up, and I'll burn you down)

Let me tell you how it all works out
I never thought we had so much time to lose
Just learning how to twist and shout
It doesn't matter much which
Damn beat you use
Let me tell you how it all works out
I never thought we had so much time to lose
Just learning how to twist and shout
It doesn't matter much which
Damn beat you use (Break me open)
Let me tell you how it all works out
Never thought we had so much time to lose
(Make me feel it)
Just learning how to twist and shout
Doesn't matter much which damn beat you use
(Break me open)
Let me tell you how it all works out
Never thought we had so much time to lose
(Make me feel it)
Just learning how to twist and shout
Doesn't matter much which damn beat you use
(You make me feel it)
