Burnin’ for You Lyrics

[Verse 1: Buck Dharma]
Home in the valley, home in the city
Home isn't pretty, ain't no home for me
Home in the darkness, home on the highway
Home isn't my way, home I'll never be

[Pre-Chorus: Buck Dharma]
Burn out the day
Burn out the night
I can't see no reason to put up a fight
I'm livin' for givin' the devil his due

[Chorus: Buck Dharma]
An' I'm burnin', I'm burnin', I'm burnin' for you
I'm burnin', I'm burnin', I'm burnin' for you!

[Verse 2: Buck Dharma]
Time is the essence, time is the season
Time ain't no reason, got no time to slow
Time everlasting, time to play B-sides
Time ain't on my side, time I'll never know

[Pre-Chorus: Buck Dharma]
Burn out the day
Burn out the night
I'm not the one to tell you what's wrong and what's right
I've seen suns that were freezing and lives that were through

[Chorus: Buck Dharma]
But I'm burnin', I'm burnin', I'm burnin' for you
I'm burnin', I'm burnin', I'm burnin' for you!

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus: Buck Dharma]
Burn out the day
Burn out the night
I can't see no reason to put up a fight
I'm livin' for givin' the devil his due

[Chorus: Buck Dharma]
An' I'm burnin', I'm burnin', I'm burnin' for you
I'm burnin', I'm burnin', I'm burnin' for you
I'm burnin', I'm burnin', I'm burnin' for you
I'm burnin', I'm burnin', I'm burnin' for you!

What did Blue Öyster Cult say about "Burnin’ for You"?

We went out to California, and our management found a video company, and we did two videos in 24 hours—“Burnin’ for You” and “Joan Crawford.” MTV wouldn’t show the “Joan Crawford” video, because there was something about it that was too racy for them. But “Burnin' for You” got a ton of airplay on MT...
