Burn You Up Burn You Down
Peter Gabriel
Letra

*************************************************************************





Straight as an arrow,

You carry your intentions to the wind, | / / / / |

Dogs all around you,

But you cannot get the message to your friend, | / / / / |



At every rendez - vous you keep on walking a - round, | / / / / |

Night-time in the city,
()
And the rain keeps fall - ing 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-----!)
Pilgrim knows the road to go,

How many times we told you so-----?


(Burn you up, & I ll burn you down! Burn you up & I ll burn you down!)



No rhyme or reason,

No way to make it easy til it s done--------,
(Burn you up, & 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 & I ll burn you down!)


(Burn you up & I ll burn you down!) You should know better,

()
But you 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, ho - ha!

(Hey - hey, hey - hey!)


Make me feel this! (Hey - hey, hey - hey!)


Hey - ey, hey - hey! (Hey - hey, hey - hey!)


Make me feel it! (Ho - ho, ho - ho!)



When they lose you, it can bruise you,


(Burn you up, & I ll burn you down, burn you up, & I ll burn you down!)


Break me open, I need someone to see me,


(Burn you up, & I ll burn you down, burn you up, & I ll burn you down!)


Make me feel it, make me feel! | / / / / | / / / / |



In the city, and the rain is falling down------,
(Burn you up, & I ll burn you down!)


(Burn you up, & I ll burn you down!)


You can make it happen... with your eyes,

With your eyes a - lone--------!
(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------------ o----pen
(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!)



Break-------- me------------ o----pen
(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!)


(Never thought we had so much time to lose!) | / / / / | / ||
