I wake up with the morning sun, but the light never comes The memories that kept us here through the years have gone on the run My wounded knees have begun to bleed like never before Though I'm in disguise, I'm your biggest alibi The road we choose to ignore I don't know which way the world turns around But it seems like it's all coming down And I don't know how fast the wheel spins around But it feels like we're just burning ground Oh, it feels like we're just burning ground Tragedy lies everywhere with me and everyone we know So now when we see the clouds on fire, we just sigh and say, look how beautiful You don't believe in what we've come to be That's a promise you once made Casting out your cries as the moon begins to rise Our love spills to the floor I don't know which way the world turns around But it seems like it's all crumbling down And I don't know how fast the wheel spins around But it feels like we're just burning ground Oh, it feels like we're just burning ground Plain lines in your hair In the looks and with the words I would never dare You've done what you had to do After all I put you through I don't know which way the world turns around But it seems like it's all crumbling down And I don't know how fast the wheel spins around But it feels like we're just burning ground Oh, it feels like we're just burning ground We're just burning ground
