Elton John – Burn Down The Mission Live At Madison Square Garden Lyrics

Read Time:1 Minute, 34 Second

You tell me theres an angel in your tree
Did he say hed come to call on me?
For things are getting desperate in our home
Living in the parish of the restless folks I know

Everybody now, bring your family down to the river side
Look to the east to see where the fat stock hide
Behind four walls of stone the rich man sleeps
Its time we put the flame torch to their keep

Burn down the mission
Oh, if were gonna stay alive
Watch the black smoke fly to heaven
See the red flame light the sky

Burn down the mission
Burn it down to stay alive
Its our only chance of living
Take all you need to live inside

Oh, oh-whoa, ah ah
Ah, ah, ah

Deep in the woods the squirrels are out today
My wife cried when they came to take me away
But what more could I do just to keep her warm
Than burn, burn, burn, burn down the mission walls

Everybody now, bring your family down to the riverside
Look to the east to see where the fat stock hide
Behind four walls of stone the rich man sleeps
Its time we put the flame torch to their keep

Burn down the mission, Lord
If were gonna stay alive
Watch the black smoke fly to heaven
See the red flame light the sky

Burn down the mission
Burn it down stay alive
Its our only chance of living
Take all you need to live inside

Burn it down!
Burn it down!
Burn it down!
Burn it down!

Burn it down!
Burn it down!
Burn it down!
Burn it down!

Burn it down!
Burn it down!
Burn it down!
Burn it down!
Burn it down!

Burn, burn, burn, burn it down! Down
Burn, burn, burn, burn it down! Down
Burn, burn, burn, burn it down! Down
