[Verse 1]
Simple things like your overcoat
And your beauty
That's still burning me
Let me hang around
Even if it's just some way to have

[Chorus 1]
Some common burn
A common burn

[Verse 2]
So I spend the night in someone's house
That you clouded
Oh, simple me that you fled
But we have that in common

[Chorus 2]
That common burn
That common burn

[Verse 3]
Oh, well, heavens, I said
So many times before
You could sit around and have
Everything that you scored
Just don't come home and say
You've been asleep
When you know you're burning
Someone
[Chorus]
That common burn
That common burn
