you said I'm gonna buy this place and burn it down
I'm gonna put it six feet under ground
I said I'm gonna buy this place and watch it fall
stand here beside me baby in the crumbling walls
oh I'm gonna buy this place and start a fire
stand here until I fill all your heart's desires
because I'm gonna buy this place and see it burn
and do back the things they did to you in return

I said I'm gonna buy a gun and start a war
if you can tell me something worth fighting for
oh and I'm gonna buy this place is what I said
blame it upon a rush of blood to the head

honey
all the movements you're starting to make
see me crumble and fall on my face
and I know the mistakes that I've made
see it all disappear without a trace
and they call as they beckon you on
they say start as you need to go on
start as you need to go on

I said I'm gonna buy this place and see it go
stand here beside me baby watch the orange glow
some'll laugh and some just sit and cry
some just sit down there and you'll wonder why
so I'm gonna buy a gun and start a war
if you can tell me something worth fighting for
and I'm gonna buy this place is what I said
blame it upon a rush of blood to the head
to the head

honey
all the movements you're starting to make
see me crumble and fall on my face
and I know the mistakes that I've made
see it all disappear without a trace
and they call as they beckon you on
they say start as you need to go on
as you need to go on

so meet me by the bridge
or meet me by the lane
when am I gonna see
that pretty face again
and meet me on the road
or meet me where I said
blame it all upon
a rush of blood to the head.
