VERSE 1
First off the man, the businessman
Known by his job, his sales, his brand

Gave no attention to his son
At first success, his life was grand
With age his skill fell short of demand

Too proud to say he can't go on

The girl had looks, blue eyes and curls

A crowd would stop to watch her twirl
She put no effort in at school
So soon no luck for her unfurled

Her only option was a call girl
She was her mother's pride and jewels
She was her mother's pride and...


CHORUS
The family is afraid tonight

They're burning bridges as they fly
The family is afraid tonight
They're burning bridges


VERSE 2
The woman lived neglected and stressed

Alone at home, she got depressed
She needed some kind of relief
A former partner came distressed

A marriage lost, no place to rest
She led him in to nurse his grief


Last comes the boy, the younger child
His sister's actions turned him wild
Took no advice from anyone

One day an offer made him smile
A drug to make his life worthwhile
The dosage didn't stop at one

The dosage didn't stop at...



CHORUS
The family is afraid tonight
They're burning bridges as they fly

The family is afraid tonight
They're burning bridges


BRIDGE
A glass is spilt beside the light
The liquid drips down from the height

A cable sparks and then ignites
The fire spreads throughout the night
And they say that 'It's better to have loved and lost than never loved at all' but

As the flames lick their bedroom doors
They know that it's everything they're losing
No chance to say goodbye

They should have apologised
