Burning Ground

[Verse 1]

And I take you down to the burning ground

And you change me up and you turn it around

In the wind and rain I'm gonna see you again

In the morning sun and when the day is done

And you take my hand and you walk with me

And sometimes it feels like eternity

And I turn the tide I get back my pride

And I make you proud when you say it out loud

When I take you down to the burning ground

[Chorus]

To the burning ground

To the burning ground

To the burning ground

To the burning ground

[Verse 2]

And I take you down by the factory

And I show you like it has to be

And you understand how the work is done

And I pick up the sack in the midday sun

And I pull you up through by the skin of your teeth

And I lift the veil, I see what's underneath

And you return to me and you sit on your throne

And you make me feel that I'm not alone

And I take you down to the burning ground

[Chorus]

To the burning ground

To the burning ground

To the burning ground

To the burning ground

[Bridge]

Hey man, who's that you're carrying?

Feels like lead

It weighs a ton

Let's see if we can, let's see if we can dump it by the side of the hill

Hey wait up, why don't you dump it on the burning ground?

Dump it down there

Yeah, yeah man, dump the Jute

Hey man, dump the Jute on the burning ground

Dump the Jute?

Yeah you know, dump the Jute

Dump the Jute!

On the burning ground

On the burning ground

[Verse 3]

And you make me think what it's all about

Sometimes I know gonna work it out

And I watch you run in the crimson sun

Tear my shirt apart open up my heart

And I watch you run down on your bended knees

By the burnt out well can you tell me please

Between heaven and hell won't you take me down

[Chorus]

To the burning ground

To the burning ground

To the burning ground

To the burning ground

[Saxophone solo]

[Chorus]

To the burning ground

To the burning ground

To the burning ground

[Verse 4]

And you fall and pray, when you hear that sound

And we're walking back to the burial mound

And you shake your head and you turn it around

And you see the flames from the burning ground

And you get down on your knees and pray

And I catch my breath as we're running away

And I take the Jute and I throw him down

[Chorus]

On the burning ground

On the burning ground

On the burning ground

It's on the burning ground

On the burning ground

On the burning ground

On the burning ground

It's on the burning ground

It's on the burning ground
