These are my famous last words My number's up bridges will burn Oh won't you let me twist your fate It's getting kinda late And I don't wanna wait no more Oh may I have this dance of days Locked in your embrace You passed your test of faith Another time, another place, another line upon your face Another in your wake Down crooked stairs and sideway glances comes the king of second chances Now throw him in the flames Whatever keeps you warm at night (whatever keeps you warm at night) Whatever keeps you warm inside Your bridges are burning now They're all coming down It's all coming 'round You're burning them down It's all coming 'round They're all coming down Your bridges are burning now Oh let me put you in your place Love it when you say, I'm giving everything away, but Tell me what's in it for me Tell me now what's in it for me No one's getting this for free So tell me now what's in it for me Whatever keeps you warm at night (whatever keeps you warm at night) Whatever keeps you warm inside Your bridges are burning now They're all coming down It's all coming 'round You're burning them down It's all coming 'round They're all coming down Your bridges are burning now Gathering the ashes Everything thrown away Gathering the ashes Scatter as they blow away Gathering the ashes Everything thrown away Gathering the ashes Scatter as they blow away Your bridges are burning now They're all coming down It's all coming 'round You're burning them down It's all coming 'round They're all coming down Your bridges are burning now (Gather in the ashes) They're all coming down (Everything thrown away) It's all coming 'round (Scatter as they blow away) You're burning them down (Gather in the ashes) It's all coming 'round (Everything thrown away) They're all coming down (Gather in the ashes) Your bridges are burning now (Scatter as they blow away)
