Jeffersons Torch
Johnny Flynn
[Verse 1] I am born in the reeds I’m an idea of magnitude Giving birth to itself ad infinitum I am Jefferson’s torch in a bright stellar majesty [Chorus] Oh I’m burning oh I’m burning oh I’m burning Yes I’m burning oh I’m burning yes I’m burning for thee [Verse 2] We were measured in the dark by timetabled tragedy There’s a real turn of age in disaster Now I’m firing a well our politicians gave to ruin [Chorus] ’Till I’m burning oh I’m burning yes I’m burning Oh I’m burning oh I’m burning yes I’m burning for thee [Bridge] River run run run run run run run river through me Through the mud mud mud mud mud Let me feel let me feel let me feel you [Interlude] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [Chorus] Oh I’m burning oh I’m burning oh I’m burning Yes I’m burning oh I’m burning oh I’m burning for thee [Bridge] River run run run run run run run river through me Through the mud mud mud mud mud Let me feel let me feel let me feel you [Interlude 2] - - - - - - [Verse 3] Now come out from your cups find your love in the doorways Have a care to fill the vessel of your heart Hold me tight through the storms And the winds of revolution [Chorus] And always burning oh he’s burning oh he’s burning Oh he’s burning yes he’s burning oh he’s burning Oh he’s burning yes he’s burning oh he’s burning for thee [Interlude 3] - - - - - -
