  • Burn, burn the house on fire
    I'm so sick and tired
    I can still remember your sound
    It's cut cut cutting me down
    Down I'm locked and loaded
    You're so milk and roses
    And I am just a letdown of your hound
    It's cut cut cutting me down
    Like slow poison
    Cut down, slow poison

    Sing me one more
    I have found my angel
    Ah-ah-oh
    She walks upon the ground
    It's cut cut cutting me
    Down on the empty can
    I'm a stranger in a strange, strange land
    Gone, gone, just gone without a sound
    It's cut cut cutting me
    Like slow poison
    Cut down, like slow poison

    And all of my dreams are only dreams
    And all of my schemes are only schemes
    And if this is my punishment
    Then I want my card to fit

    Burn burn the house on fire
    I'm so sick and tired
    I can still remember your sound
    It's cut cut cutting me down
    Like slow poison
    Cut down, like slow poison
    It's cutting me
    Like slow poison Writer/s: SAMUEL BINGHAM ENDICOTT
