He said I'm gonna buy this place and burn it down,

I'm gonna put it six feet underground.
He said I'm gonna buy this place and watch it fall,
Stand here beside me baby in the crumbling walls

Oh, I'm gonna buy this place and start a fire,
Stand here until I fill all your heart's desires,
Because I'm gonna buy this place and see it burn,
And do back the things it did to you in return.

You said, I'm gonna buy a gun and start a war,
If you can tell me something worth fighting for
Oh, and I'm gonna buy this place, that's what I said,
Blame it upon a rush of blood to the head.

Honey, all the movements you've started to make -
See me crumble and fall on my face,
And I know the mistakes that I've made -
See it all disappear without a trace.
And they call as they beckon you on,
They said, start as you mean to go on,
Start as you mean to go on.

He said I'm gonna buy this place and see it go
Stand here beside me baby, watch the orange glow
Some will laugh and some just sit and cry
But you just sit down there and you wonder why

So I'm gonna buy a gun and start a war,
If you can tell me something worth fighting for,
And I'm gonna buy this place, that's what I said,
Blame it upon a rush of blood to the head.

So meet me by the bridge
Oh, meet me by the lane
When am I going to see
That pretty face again

Meet me on the road
Meet me where I said
Blame it all upon
A rush of blood to the head
