Woke up this morning about a quarter to five Said the prayer you'd taught me to keep myself alive, It burned my tongue. It burned my tongue. Fried some grains in bu*ter, Said a simple grace, Sat down at the table, Fed my greedy face. It burned my tongue. It burned my tongue. Looked out at the ocean I could see it so clear. Said the only name I can ever stand to hear. It burned my tongue
It burned my tongue. When i ask you to sing with me I wish you'd sing along. Thirty years in this world -- Thirty years too long. It burns my tongue. It burns my tongue. You tooks away my friends. You took my will to live. I gave you all i got. What more have i got to give? It burns my tongue. It burns my tongue. It burns my tongue. It burns my tongue
