The cycle repeated
As explosions broke in the sky
All that I needed
Was the one thing I couldn't find

And you were there at the turn
Waiting to let me know

We're building it up
To break it back down
We're building it up
To burn it down
We can't wait
To burn it to the ground

The colors conflicted
As the flames climbed into the clouds
I wanted to fix this
But couldn't stop from tearing it down

And you were there at the turn
Caught in the burning glow
And I was there at the turn
Waiting to let you know

We're building it up
To break it back down
We're building it up
To burn it down
We can't wait
To burn it to the ground

You told me, "Yes,"
You held me high
And I believed when you told that lie
I played soldier, you played king
And struck me down, when I kissed that ring
You lost that right, to hold that crown
I built you up, but you let me down
So when you fall, I'll take my turn
And fan the flames
As your blazes burn

And you were there at the turn
Waiting to let me know

We're building it up
To break it back down
We're building it up
To burn it down
We can't wait
To burn it to the ground

When you fall, I'll take my turn
And fan the flames
As your blazes burn

We can't wait
To burn it to the ground

When you fall, I'll take my turn
And fan the flames
As your blazes burn

We can't wait
To burn it to the ground

Я искала тебя годами долгими
Искала тебя дворами тёмными
В журналах, в кино, среди друзей
И в день, когда нашла, с ума сошла
Ты совсем как во сне
Совсем как в альбомах
Где я рисовала тебя гуашью
Дальше были звонки ночные больше
Слёзы, нервы, любовь и стрелки в Польше
Дети, но не мои, и старые зазнобы
Куришь каждые пять, мы устали оба
Ты совсем как во сне
Совсем как в альбомах
Где я рисовала тебя гуашью
Годами долгими
Ночами темными
Годами долгими
Ты совсем как во сне
Совсем как в альбомах
Где я рисовала тебя гуашью
Ты совсем как во сне
Совсем как в альбомах
Где я рисовала тебя гуашью
Я искала тебя годами долгими
Искала тебя дворами тёмными
В журналах, в кино годами долгими
Искала тебя ночами-чами-чами
