Bridge On Fire - Shovels & Rope

Bridge On Fire Lyrics

The old bridge is on fire and I'm the one to blame
A stone cold igniter of a violent flame
Suffer all my brothers and the family name
Like worn out lovers, nobody was gonna changeOur backs were weary and I, I had enough
And you said I want you to know what you're walking away from
But it was not enoughThe old bridge is on fire and tearing at our clothes
Some deadly unnamed fighter, here come the final blows
We're coughing up our failures and choking on our lows
Leaving a trail behind us of blood and broken bonesOur backs were weary and I, I had enough
And you said I want you to know what you're walking away from
But it was not enough, no it was not enoughEasy come (easy come), easy go (easy go)
It's a long way home, it's a long way homeOur backs are weary and I, I had enough
And you said I want you to know what you're walking away from
But it was not enough, no
The old bridge is on fire
