lyrics

I got a head of fire pacing 'round alone
I got no humble pie, got no comfort zone
Just a bed that's burning

I thought I knew it all
I found out I'm still learning
When my plans hit the wall

All of my hope is lost, I'm a hollow shell
Can't get to sleep at night, I can't break the spell
Keep my heart from yearning

I thought I knew it all
I found out I'm still learning
When my plans hit the wall
Crashed and burned, took a fall

You know I'll pay the rent, pass the buck
Only live for awhile so I'll live it up
Cuz I would rather set myself on fire
Than give up

I'll never understand what the red eye knows
Chasing the shadows down where the daylight goes
As the world keeps turning

I thought I knew it all
I found out I'm still learning
When my plans hit the wall
Crashed and burned, took a fall

Pay the rent, pass the buck
Only live for awhile so I'll live it up
Cuz I would rather set myself on fire
Than give up

Ooh la la la oooh
Ooh la la la oooh
Yeah I would rather set myself on fire
Than give up
