You Burn First

From Crisis2006

Written by Christopher Steele

Lyrics

You Burn First

I said, "Cover me, if there is a fire 'Cause I want you to burn first" She screamed at me, "I want to be desired" I said, "Easy girl, I know it hurts Let's all give thanks that I am a liar 'Cause I got a feeling I just might get worse Now there's nothing wrong with you, I'm just tired And I'm in a mood for a brand new curse" You burn first You burn first You burn first You burn first "Cover me, if there is a fire 'Cause I want you to burn first" She screamed at me, "I want to be desired" "Easy girl, I know it hurts Let's all give thanks that I am a liar 'Cause I got a feeling I just might get worse Now there's nothing wrong with you, I've just grown tired And I'm in a mood for a brand new curse"
