Bridges Burning (BBC Session Previously Unreleased Reading Festival 1987)

Snow blind, dog tired, snow blind

And barb wired, last chance in the jungle trance

And the fast step of the monkey dance craze

War paint, misty days and dizzy faint

Keeping the faith, spinning turning

Watch the flames of bridges burning

Turning colors and shedding skin, shining brightly

Thick and thin, mirror of Gods, legend and myth

The fatal charm of the treasure, gift wrapped

And heaven sent, so trapped on islands of intent

Avenging angel of the wild and yearning

Stoke the flames of bridges burning

Burning me over, bridges burning

Burning, drives me wild, yearning for the small child

Blind men cry but shed no tears, see no evil

Speak in tongues and hear you say, lovers leap

'cause there's no other way across waters deep

Feel the fire and the fool is learning

To run from the flames of bridges burning
