Burn, burn the house on fire I'm so sick and tired I can still remember your sound It's cut cut cutting me down Down I'm locked and loaded You're so milk and roses And I am just a letdown of your hound It's cut cut cutting me down Like slow poison Cut down, slow poison Sing me one more I have found my angel Ah-ah-oh She walks upon the ground It's cut cut cutting me Down on the empty can I'm a stranger in a strange, strange land Gone, gone, just gone without a sound It's cut cut cutting me Like slow poison Cut down, like slow poison And all of my dreams are only dreams And all of my schemes are only schemes And if this is my punishment Then I want my card to fit Burn burn the house on fire I'm so sick and tired I can still remember your sound It's cut cut cutting me down Like slow poison Cut down, like slow poison It's cutting me Like slow poison
