I've spent my life trying to understand Just how my life lead to where I am But it leaves a bitter taste And it feels like such a waste I am so totally vague Betray the dark line, see if I care I loved you when I was young but no more So burn down the fireman's fair Memory plays its tricks on me In my mind's eye I claim to see I'm losing every race I run Making misery out of fun So bulldoze the new road They're driving, slash the beanbag chair You held me for so very long but no more So burn down the fireman's fair All those types of things we think we need But that doesn't make them true I'm a little afraid I'm falling far and free I'll leave that up to you That's up to you So won't you find me totally vague A dream has died, see if I care I loved you when I was young but no more So burn down the fireman's fair Fireman's fair Burn down the fireman's fair Fireman's fair Burn down the fireman's fair
