Burn, burn, burn
Burn, baby, burn
Burn, baby, burn
Burn, baby, burn, burning

Oh how the disco ball flickers when night descends,
Everybody’s drawin’ circles on the dance floor.
Incantations spoken low – the rite begins,
Something waits behind the backstage door.

Frankincense to cleanse, myrrh to sanctify,
Cinnamon and oil mark your brow.
Stars above bear witness as you hope to fly,
Every single funky step a sacred vow.

Burn, baby, burn — let the ego fall,
Burn, baby, burn — hear your angel’s call!
Burn, baby, burn — no self at all,
Burn, baby, burn — ’til the walls dissolve!

Symbols expand – wide and deep,
Every type of ‘gram is cast around.
Dancing for secrets that the angels keep,
They’re right above you in their disco gowns.

{Super funky bass groove right hurr}

Chalk and ash laid down to help the spirits move,
Holy names invoked to dance possessed.
In this sacred space using dance hall groove,
Every drop of sweat building a world so blessed. OW!

Burn, baby, burn — let the ego fall,
Burn, baby, burn — hear your angel’s call!
Burn, baby, burn — no self at all,
Burn, baby, burn — ’til the walls dissolve!

{To the bridge:}

Look within, nothing’s hidden,
The only time you got to see is now.
Serpent rising here, as if bidden,
Let the holy fire burn, burn it – burn it down!

Burn, baby, burn — let the ego fall,
Burn, baby, burn — hear your angel’s call!
Burn, baby, burn — no self at all,
Burn, baby, burn — ’til the walls dissolve!

{Guitar solo, then to bass and drums before guitar comes back gently like a consolation}

In the silence you can hear all that’s been told,
Your angel’s voice so confident, so soft and bold.
The ashes cool to embers while we grow old,
But then the flame kicks up to keep away the cold and

Burn, baby, burn
Burn, baby, burn
Burn, baby, burn
Burn, baby, burn, burning burning
Burn, baby, burn
Burn, baby, burn
Burn, baby, burn
Burn, baby, burn, burning burning burning {Fade}
