Lyrics
Once I was young
Once I was smart
Now I'm living on the edge of my nerves
The things we said weren't quite so tough
When we were young
Well, I'm burning
I'm burning buildings
I'm building this time
Oh-oh-oh
For the art of parties
Oh-oh-oh
Under heavy weather
Oh-oh-oh
For the art of parties
Oh-oh-oh
I'm burning, burning
I'm living, I'm living my high life
I'm living this time
Oh-oh-oh
For the art of parties
Oh-oh-oh
I'm burning, burning
The wind blew through my hair (Once I was young)
I'd shelter from the sun (Once I was smart)
We lived on the strength of our nerves
When we were young
Well, I'm building
I'm burning buildings
I'm burning
Oh-oh-oh
For the art of parties
Oh-oh-oh
Under heavy weather
Oh-oh-oh
For the art of parties
Oh-oh-oh
I'm burning
I'm, I'm burning
Oh-oh-oh
For the art of parties
Oh-oh-oh
I'm burning, burning
Oh-oh-oh
For the art of parties
Oh-oh-oh
I'm burning, just burning
Oh-oh-oh
For the art of parties
Oh-oh-oh
I'm burning, burning
Oh-oh-oh
For the art of parties
Oh-oh-oh
I'm burning, burning
