[Verse 1]
I've spent my life trying to understand
Just how my life led to where I am
But it leaves a bitter taste
And it feels like such a waste

[Chorus]
I am so totally vague
Betray the dark line, see if I care
I loved you when I was young, but no more
So burn down the fireman's fair

[Verse 2]
Memory plays its tricks on me
In my mind's eye, I claim to see
I'm losing every race I run
Making misery out of fun

[Chorus]
So bulldoze the new road
They're driving, slash the beanbag chair
You held me for so very long, but no more
So burn down the fireman's fair

[Bridge]
All those types of things we think we need
But that doesn't make them true
I'm a little afraid I'm falling far and free
I'll leave that up to you
That's up to you
[Chorus]
So won't you find me totally vague
A dream has died, see if I care
I loved you when I was young, but no more
So burn down the fireman's fair

[Outro]
Fireman's fair
Burn down the fireman's fair
Fireman's fair
Burn down the fireman's fair
