You′ve turned back on me And left me alone I saw this house, so high Will it take me to the sky Another life, another soul Taken by your self esteem Sixteen six floors to realize my dream
There was just one more way And the ice cold wind howled through the night I heard a distant scream I′d never believed the door extreme There′s just a one way street Without an exit for us all to leave And here we stay and nothing more to say
Let me burn – burn me alive Got a bullet with your name on it Hits you straight between the eyes Let me burn – burn me alive Guess it′s time to teach a lesson Gonna pack my Smith & Wesson
Compensator – regulator – there′s an open door One way will lead to heaven On the sixteen sixth floor Immortal eyes and dirty lies Free me from my pain Will there ever be a place where all remains
There was just one more way And the ice cold wind howled through the night I heard a distant scream I′d never believed the door extreme There′s just a one way street Without an exit for us all to leave And here we stay and nothing more to say
Let me burn – burn me alive Got a bullet with your name on it Hits you straight between the eyes Let me burn – burn me alive Guess it′s time to teach a lesson Gonna pack my Smith & Wesson
A blacksmith courted me Nine months and better He fairly won my heart Wrote me a letter With his hammer in his hand He looked quite clever And if I was with my love I′d live forever.
But where is my love gone With his cheeks like roses And his good black billycock on Decked round with primroses I′m afraid the scorching sun Will shine and burn his beauty And if I was with my love I′d do my duty.
Strange news is come to town Strange news is carried Strange news flies up and down That my love is married. I wish them both much joy Though they can′t bear me And may God reward him well For the slighting of me.
Don′t you remember when You lay beside me And you said you′d marry me And not deny me If I said I′d marry you It was only for to try you So bring your witness love And I′ll not deny you.
No witness have I none Save God Almighty And may he reward you well For the slighting of me.
Her lips grew pale and wan It made a poor heart tremble To think she loved a one And he proved deceitful.
