VERSE
We see the river there, flowin southward toward the city
Little sailboats sailin on, into the evening flame
Hearin waves crashin on, on the shoreline down below me
They singin a sad song, with a sadder name
Takin leaves from the tree, and we loadin up the gun now
But I dont care at all, so crank up the sun now
CHORUS
Light me up, light me up
Burnin me down to the ground
Light me up, light me up
Bring it up and sing it loud
Light me up, light me up
Light me up, light me up
VERSE
We sittin on the sand, watchin bad times slide on by
Little sailboats sailin on, into the evening flame
Hear waves crashin on, on the shoreline down below me
They sing a sad song
but we keep goin on
so crank up the sun now
BRIDGE
Why do they come, and then go away
When the day is done
Lost at sea if they can not find their way
They just keep on goin on and on so crank up the sun now
