Bridge On Fire Lyrics - Swimmin' Time - Shovels & Rope

The old bridge is on fire and I'm the one to blame 

A stone cold igniter of a violent flame 

Suffer all my brothers and the family name 

Like worn out lovers, nobody was gonna change 

Our backs were weary and I, I had enough 

And you said I want you to know what you're walking away from 

But it was not enough 

The old bridge is on fire and tearing at our clothes 

Some deadly unnamed fighter, here come the final blows 

We're coughing up our failures and choking on our lows 

Leaving a trail behind us of blood and broken bones 

Our backs were weary and I, I had enough 

And you said I want you to know what you're walking away from 

But it was not enough, no it was not enough 

Easy come (easy come), easy go (easy go) 

It's a long way home, it's a long way home 

Our backs are weary and I, I had enough 

And you said I want you to know what you're walking away from 

But it was not enough, no 

The old bridge is on fire
