“Burn!” is, obviously, about the fire. The song is about somebody who’s got a questionable past, and rather than doing the obvious, what most people do, lying about it, he just burns it up. There is no proof; there is just a bunch of ashes behind him. And if people try and figure out what this guy i...
[Verse 1]
I've got a sickening feeling
My life is standing still
It's clear that fate is closing in
But this is the life I choose
I've got so much time to kill
Born to lose, I'll die to win
[Chorus]
Burn, baby burn... 'cause it feels so good
[Verse 2]
I'm getting on my own nerves
And I get no satisfaction
Till I light it up and burn it down
One match lights my fire
And it starts a chain reaction
That burns my crooked past to the ground
[Chorus]
Burn, baby burn... 'cause it feels so good
Burn, baby burn... like I knew it would
[Post-Chorus]
Fire, I've got the fire
Fire, burning desire... my desire to burn
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
I hear the darkness call
The sirens are growing near
It's time I make my great escape
The flames are getting tall
Inside my rear view mirror
Just a spark is all it takes
[Chorus]
Burn, baby burn... 'cause it feels so good
Burn, baby burn... like I knew it would
[Post-Chorus]
Fire, I've got the fire
Fire, burning desire
I've got the fire, burning desire
And it burns, yeah, baby it burns
It burns; yeah, it burns, hotter than hell
[Verse 4]
Sifting the damage done
I'm burning up all the proof
I won't be going down in flames
At large, I'm on the run
They're tightening up the noose
It's too late; I need to get away
[Chorus]
Burn, baby burn... 'cause it feels so good
Burn, baby burn... like I knew it would
Burn! was written by Dave Mustaine.
Burn! was produced by Johnny K & Dave Mustaine.
I made a comment when we were recording some bass track [for Super Collider], that some of the stuff reminded me of early Megadeth. When I say early Megadeth I meant before Killing Is My Business. There was a sound Megadeth had before we record Killing. It was when Dave [Mustaine] and I first met an...
