Song lyrics

Send "Banquet" ringtones to your cell

A heart of stone, a smoking gun
I can give you life, I can take it away
A heart of stone, a smoking gun
I'm working it out, I working...

Why'd you feel, so underrated?
Why'd you feel, so negated?
Ha, ha

Turning away from the light, becoming adult
Turning, into my soul
I wanted, to bite not destroy, to feel her underneath
Turning, into the light

She don't think straight
Na, na, na
She don't think straight

She's got such a dirty mind, and it never ever stops
And you don't taste like her, and you never ever will
And we don't read the papers, we don't read the news
Heaven's never enough, we will never be fooled

Turning away from the light, becoming adult
Turning, into my soul
I wanted, to bite not destroy, to feel her underneath
Turning, into the light

And if you feel (and if you feel)
A little left behind (a little left behind)
We will wait for you on the other side

And if you feel (and if you feel)
A little left behind (a little left behind)
We will wait for you on the other side

'Cause I'm on fire!
'cause you know I'm on fire when you come
'Cause you know I'm on fire!
'cause you know I'm on fire, so stub me out

'Cause I'm on fire! 'Cause I'm on fire!
'Cause I'm on fire! 'Cause I'm on fire!

264 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Good song, but why aren't they releasing the best stuff off the album? This and So Here We Are are alright, but they ain't the best: they better get Like Eating Glass and This Modern Love out, otherwise I'll be most distressed Ah well. COS I'M ON FIRE!
