Burning By by Freddy Jones Band Lyrics

Memories of a moving picture show in my head
Show my life burning by
I can't get free from the smoke all around
I guess that's how life will just burn on by

Frustration can cause you to stare at the folks
That you call your friends
Loneliness and stress will tie you up so Goddamn tight
Keep you down and bitter till the end

Failed love clings to loyalty and trust
Barely stands an aging fence full of holes full of rust

Meditation follows fire into water
Smoke comes alive
Snaking its way up through the icy water
Strike a match sit back your mind begins to wander
Take this ticket its a free ride

Crossing at a street light
I can feel the heat from a headlight
Burning my skin I'm afraid to turn around
Red shiny nose, red leather toes
Of a clown that's been following me around
