Burn You Up, Burn You Down Lyrics - Peter Gabriel

Straight as an arrow 

Carry our intentions through the wind 

Dogs all around you 

But your gonna get the message to your friend 

At every rendezvous you keep on looking around 

Nighttime in the city and the rain keeps falling down 

Let me tell you how it all works out 

Never thought we had so much time to lose 

Just learning how to twist and shout 

Doesn't matter much which damn beat you use 

Let me tell you how it all works out 

Never thought we had so much time to lose 

Just learning how to twist and shout 

Doesn't matter much which damn beat you use

Heaven knows the road to go 

How many times we've told you so 

(Burn you up, we gonna burn you down) 

(Burn you up, we gonna burn you down) 

No rhyme or reason 

No way to make it easy 'til it's done 

(Burn you up, we gonna burn you down) 

(Burn you up, we gonna burn you down) 

So you cross onto the other side of the street 

(Burn you up, we gonna burn you down) 

(Burn you up, we gonna burn you down) 

Should know better than to keep turning up the heat 

Let me tell you how it all works out 

Never thought we had so much time to lose 

Just learning how to twist and shout 

Doesn't matter much which damn beat you use

Let me tell you how it all works out 

Never thought we had so much time to lose 

Just learning how to twist and shout 

Doesn't matter much which damn beat you use 

Oh, hey make me feel this 

Hey hey hey, make me feel it hey 

When they lose you, it can bruise you 

(Burn you up, we gonna burn you down) 

(Burn you up, we gonna burn you down) 

Break me open, I need someone to see me 

(Burn you up, we gonna burn you down) 

(Burn you up, we gonna burn you down) 

Make me feel it, make me feel 

In the city and the rain is falling down 

(Burn you up, we gonna burn you down) 

(Burn you up, we gonna burn you down) 

You can make it happen with your eyes, with your eyes alone 

Let me tell you how it all works out 

Never thought we had so much time to lose 

Just learning how to twist and shout 

Doesn't matter much which damn beat you use 

Let me tell you how it all works out 

Never thought we had so much time to lose 

Just learning how to twist and shout 

Doesn't matter much which damn beat you use 

Break me open 

(Let me tell you how it all works out) 

(Never thought we had so much time to lose) 

Make me feel it 

(Just learning how to twist and shout) 

(Doesn't matter much which damn beat you use) 

Break me open 

(Let me tell you how it all works out) 

(Never thought we had so much time to lose) 

Make me feel it 

(Just learning how to twist and shout) 

(Doesn't matter much which damn beat you use) 

You can make me feel it 

You can make me, you can make me, you can make me feel it 

You can make me feel it, you can make me feel it 

You can make me feel it, you can make me feel it 

You can make me feel it, you can make me feel it
