jefferson's torch

i am born in the reeds

i'm an idea of magnitude

giving birth to itself ad infinitum

i am jefferson's torch in a bright

stellar majesty

oh i'm burning

oh i'm burning

oh i'm burning

yes i'm burning

oh i'm burning

yes i'm burning for thee

we were measured in the dark by timetabled tragedy

there's a real turn of age in disaster

now i'm firing a well our politicians gave to ruin

'till i'm burning

oh i'm burning

yes i'm burning

oh i'm burning

oh i'm burning

yes i'm burning for thee

river run run run run run run run river through me

through the mud mud mud mud mud

let me feel

let me feel

let me feel you

oh i'm burning

oh i'm burning

oh i'm burning

yes i'm burning

oh i'm burning

oh i'm burning for thee

river run run run run run run run river through me

through the mud mud mud mud mud

let me feel

let me feel

let me feel you

now come out from your cups

find your love in the doorways

have a care to fill the vessel of your heart

hold me tight through the storms

and the winds of revolution

and always burning

oh he's burning

oh he's burning

oh he's burning

yes he's burning

oh he's burning

oh he's burning

yes he's burning

oh he's burning for thee
