[Verse 1]
He said, "I'm gonna buy this place and burn it down
Yeah, I'm gonna put it six feet underground"
Said, "I'm gonna buy this place and see it fall
Stand here beside me, baby, in the crumblin' walls"
He said, "I'm gonna buy this place and start a fire
Stand here until I fill all your heart's desires
'Cause I'm gonna buy this place and see it burn
And do back the things it did to you in return"

[Pre-Chorus]
He said, "I'm gonna buy a gun and start a war
If you can tell me somethin' worth fightin' for
And I'm gonna buy this place, is what I said
Blame it upon a rush of blood to the head"
Oh, to the head

[Chorus]
Honey
All the movements you've started to make
See me crumble and fall on my face
And I know the mistakes that I made
See it all disappear without trace
And they call as they beckon you on
They said, "Start as you mean to go on"
Start as you mean to go on
[Verse 3]
Said, "I'm gonna buy this place and see it go
Stand here beside me, baby, watch the orange glow
'Cause some will laugh, and some just sit and cry
But you just sit down there and you wonder why

[Pre-Chorus]
So, I'm gonna buy a gun and start a war
If you can tell me somethin' worth fightin' for
And I'm gonna buy this place, is what I said
Blame it upon a rush of blood to the head
To the head

[Chorus]
Honey
All the movements you've started to make
See me crumble and fall on my face
And I know the mistakes that I made
See it all disappear without trace
And they call as they beckon you on
They said, "Start as you mean to go on"
Start as you mean to go on
Start as you mean to go on

[Outro]
So meet me by the bridge
Yeah, meet me on the lane
When am I gonna see that pretty face again?
Oh, meet me on the road
Yeah, meet me where I said
"Blame it all upon
A rush of blood to the head"
