Juliana Finch: Music

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)
• MP3 play whole song, lo-fi (modem)

I thought I had learned not to play with fire
but now I've been burned once more by this desire

You are this thunderbird in flames who knows the secrets of my songs
and as you speak my hidden names
I think you've known them all along

So my safeguards have completely crumbled down
I'm just waiting for the lightning to reach this town
Because I heard you never strike
In the same heart twice
And I'm already burning down


I once knew you there in the city of my heart
Now you stop and stare and say you want a brand new start
I give my body, give my time to another man, it's true
but my soul and my mind are a storm of you

So I'm unworthy, and I'm deceitful, strike me down
I'm just waiting for the lightning to reach this town
Because they said you'd never strike
In the same heart twice
And I'm already burning down...
Burning down...

And I pray that you will strike
In this poor heart twice
I need to know just what it's like to burn down
Burn me down
(burn down)

I'm just waiting for the lightning
(burn down)
I'm just waiting for the lightning
(burn down)
I'm just waiting...waiting...
