Burning Buildings Lyrics - Breaking Hearts - Elton John

It used to be a sweet sensation 

No price too high for love 

Now I pay for this bitter taste 

And the price is not enough 

Such cruel sport for your kicks 

Such hard knocks on my heart 

How long before the pain ends 

Tell me where living starts 

And lovers leap off burning buildings 

Waking up on a sky high wire 

Desperation leaves us clinging 

On the edge of a house on fire

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Lovers leap off burning buildings 

Live our life on borrowed time 

Every flame that ever moved you 

Touched your lips but never mine 

Lovers leap off burning buildings 

No room for conversation 

Cold stares and angry words 

Fall in pieces from our faces 

We read 'Do Not Disturb' 

Some lovers just go hungry 

Others beg for just a bite 

You use me under pressure 

To whet your appetite 

And lovers leap off burning buildings 

Waking up on a sky high wire 

Desperation leaves us clinging 

On the edge of a house on fire 

Lovers leap off burning buildings 

Live our life on borrowed time 

Every flame that ever moved you 

Touched your lips but never mine 

Lovers leap off burning buildings 

Lovers leap off burning buildings 

Waking up on a sky high wire 

Desperation leaves us clinging 

On the edge of a house on fire 

Lovers leap off burning buildings 

Live our life on borrowed time 

Every flame that ever moved you 

Touched your lips but never mine 

Lovers leap off burning buildings 

Waking up on a sky high wire 

Desperation leaves us clinging 

On the edge of a house on fire 

Lovers leap off burning buildings
