What in the world has come over me? The sounds of the lakefront move me no more I only feel the searing pain upon my face Where pale innocence played before, and If I’d only known I would have tried to circumvent it Or at least made my way to the shade I blame Garcia Vega and the songs that we sang For the pathetic mess of me that you made When you burned me, you stole away my smile When you burned me, I used to like your style But you burned me, and now I have to go slow And you burned me, but I’ll see you again tomorrow Next time we meet please stay behind a cloud And gaze down upon me though the mist I need you there to comfort me and guide my way But not for my skin to be kissed They told me you’d be hiding on vacation for the weekend And I thought that I might have to cry But having you above me was the only thing I needed That starts me on the itch now that I’m dry You’re the talk of the town whether you show or you don’t I wish I believed that you will but you won’t Come out now to dry away my tears I haven’t been burned this badly in years (Why do I stay, when you burn?) When you burned me, burned me When you burned me, and now I’ve got to go slow And you burned me, but I’ll see you again tomorrow
