Once you are down, there’s no way up
I’ve got the bodies to prove it, three pilots have tried
And I can see you’re new to this
Your tan lines betray you, you’ve never been free
I’ve got a knack for these things
You didn’t know of this island, the island knew you
And here we are, in lustful bloom
The moonlight and salt, tender skin
Take this heart and burn it
Burn it good and well
Pour the ashes in the pit
I promise not to tell
Take this heart and burn it
What’s left of me, you sell
Sun sets on your paradise
Tell me how I smell
Take this heart and burn it
To the bride and to the groom
To the company kept in our hollowed-out chests
A spirit given to the lagoon
A pound of my flesh for one handful of breast
To final nights, some final thoughts
On the back of the beast with the apple in mouth
Swim in the light, drink to the drought
Searing away all your doubts
Take this heart and burn it
Burn it good and well
Pour the ashes in the pit
I promise not to tell
Take this heart and burn it
What’s left of me, you sell
Sun sets on your paradise
Tell me how I smell
Take this heart and burn it
Take this heart and burn it
Burn it good and well
Pour the ashes in the pit
I promise not to tell
Take this heart and burn it
What’s left of me, you sell
Sun sets on your paradise
Tell me how I smell
Take this heart and burn it
Burn it
Take this heart and burn it
