I knew a girl
with sad blue eyes
put out the feast

I lost my psychic prize
I did forget
what the tarot maid did say

I burn today
I burn today
our house was filled

with many birds
she said to me I can understand their words
the land will shake, so run away


(chorus)
I burn today

I burn today
yesterday I will burn
for the times

I did not learn

she said have fun

its time has come
hold my heart strings
and have yourself a strum

no, nevermore
this song will we play
I burn today eh

I burn today
and as I drank
in old Paris

she lay her cards
just to see what she would see
down by the water you'll find your happy days


(chorus)


I ran so fast
into the north
no snow on me

and so he said thenceforth,
I let snow fall
on frozen yesterday

I burn today
I burn today
and if my head

is hanging down
I feel her arms
and her legs are all around

and we make love
beside the waterway


(chorus)

behold the rose

of Jericho
how many lives
I really do not know

though with the rain
I know it will return
today I burn

today I burn
