lyrics

Where there’s smoke, there’s fire
Still we couldn’t read the signals
That this affair would expire

All ash, it smolders
The pair is better off as singles
We wise up as we get older

The perfect items to burn in effigy
Taking all the best parts of you and me
Lather, rinse, repeat with kerosene
There are too many sorrows left for us to drown
So, burn it down, Bernadette, burn it down
Burn it down, Bernadette, burn it down

Has the past been scorched?
Or is it seared into your memory?
You still carrying that torch

In the middle of the dark
Not sometimes but every
You still searching for that spark

The perfect items to burn in effigy
Taking all the best parts of you and me
Lather, rinse, repeat with kerosene
The embers will spread from town to town
So, burn it down, Bernadette, burn it down
There are too many sorrows left for us to drown
So, burn it down, Bernadette, burn it down
The embers will spread from town to town
So, burn it down, Bernadette, burn it
Burn it down, Bernadette, burn it
Burn it down, Bernadette, burn it down
