Burnin' For You. . . . . . . Blue Oyster Cult. . .

Home in the valley . . . . . Home in the city . . . . . . Home isn't pretty . . . . . . . Ain't no home for me
Home in the darkness . . .Home on the highway . Home isn't my way . . . . .Home I'll never be
Burn out the day . . . Burn out the night . . . I can't see no reason to put up a fight
I'm livin' for givin' the devil his due . . . And I'm burnin', I'm burnin', I'm burnin' for you
I'm burnin', I'm burnin', I'm burnin' for you.
Time is the essence . . . Time is the season . . . Time ain't no reason . . . Got no time to slow
Time everlasting . . . Time to play b-sides . . . Time ain't on my side . . . Time I'll never know
Burn out the day Burn out the night . . I'm not the one to tell you what's wrong and what's right
I've seen suns that were freezin' and lives that were through
And I'm burnin', I'm burnin', I'm burnin' for you . . I'm burnin', I'm burnin', I'm burnin' for you
