Sangtekst: Frank Black. Honeycomb. I Burn Today.

I knew a girl with sad blue eyes
But at the feast, I lost my psychic prize
I did forget, what the tarot maid did say
I burn today
I burn today

Our house was filled with many birds
She said to me, "I can understand their words
The land will shake, so run away"
I burn today
I burn today

Yes today, I will burn
For the times I did not learn

She said, "Have fun, it's time has come
Hold my heart strings and have yourself a strum
No, nevermore this song will we play"
I burn today
I burn today

And as I drank in old Paris
She lay her cards just to see what she would see
"Down by the water you'll find your happy days"
I burn today
I burn today

Yes today, I will burn
For the times I did not learn

I ran so fast into the north
No snow on me and so you said thenceforth
I let snow fall on frozen yesterday
I burn today
I burn today

And if my head is hanging down
I feel her arms and her legs are all around
And we make love beside the waterway
I burn today
I burn today

Yes today, I will burn
For the times I did not learn

Behold the rose of Jericho
How many lives I really do not know
Though with the rain I know it will return
Today I burn
Today I burn
