[Verse 1]
A piece of my heart cries out loudly
For the funeral of innocence
To tell the truth, this elaborate story
Of goodness not so plausible
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Stay at home at night
The mark of Cain is upon you
There's a sign on your forehead
There's no way you can stay out
[Chorus]
Burning for the night, for the night
The heat is on
Burning for the night, for the night
The heat is on
[Verse 2]
A piece of my heart eyes the wheels in motion
With suspicion of coincidence
It don't grab me now to swallow the notion
Of accidents that no one meant
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Stay at home at night
The mark of Cain is upon you
While we look for solutions
It's not safe when you go out
[Chorus]
You're burning for the night, for the night
The heat is on
You're burning for the night, for the night
The heat is on
[Bridge]
Do you do what you can do?
It looks like to me that you are only playing a part
Do you do what you can do?
Talk slow, in a trance
[Chorus]
You're burning for the night, for the night
The heat is on
You're burning for the night, for the night
The heat is on
[Chorus]
You're burning for the night, for the night
The heat is on
You're burning for the night, for the night
The heat is on
