Motorhead Burner Lyrics

Riots in the burning street, crystal night outside
Brutal music in the night, enough to make you cry
Nobody knows how it is to sleep and drown the world
I am the midnight snake to bite your little girls
Outside in the distance, the city in the fire
See the houses burning down, mile after mile

I don't think you know about your future yet
And I don't think you're gonna like the one you're gonna get
Ghost rider in the sky

Burner

Light outside my windows, victims on the floor
Rats in all the bedrooms, thunder at the door
Nobody knows anything, kill and wear a smile
Here come the pirates, baby, don't you touch that dial
You ain't gonna hurt me, you won't put me down This ain't no circus and I sure don't need no clowns

I will be the one that you can't be
I will see things that you can't see
Demons blind your eyes

Burner

Beat me like hammer, baby, stick me like a pig
Throw me to the lions, honey, wear me like a wig
I am not the only one to walk into the fire
I would rather burn then let them make me be a liar
I cannot be beaten, I cannot be like you
I cannot be otherwise, no matter what you do

I am the voice of broken glass
I am the voice to drive you mad at last
I am the truth, the liar turned around

Burner
Burner
Burner
Burner anyway
