Naked Eyes - Burning Bridges Lyrics

one of the truly great electro/synth/pop originals. I wish someone would cover it.

Just the other day, I heard somebody say
"Life is getting out of hand"
And I feel inclined, to take another line
Change my ways, a different plan

Burning bridges as you pass
You find yourself alone at lone at last
All your enemies are conquered
Is your life the one you wanted?

Now it seems so hard
Stuck in what you start
Changing course another dream
There's no turning back
It's just so hard to tack
Life is never what it seems

Burning bridges as you pass
You find yourself alone at last
All your enemies are conquered
Is your life the one you wanted?

This is your life, this is your life, this is your life, this is your life

Tears in your eyes as you think of the lives you've forgotten
You've lost them
Full of surprise with your wide open eyes, looking lost



Burning bridges as you pass
You find yourself alone at last
All your enemies are conquered
Is your life the one you wanted?

Burning bridges as you pass
You find yourself alone at last
All your enemies are conquered
Is your life the one you wanted?

This is your life, this is your life, this is your life, this is your life

But how precise and fast is Phil Towner on the drumming? His percussiveness hears like a drum-machine. He never missed a single beat. The Naked Eyes could not have chosen better. Phil is best synthpop drummer ever.

Just the other day I heard somebody say
Life is getting out of hand?
And I feel inclined to take another line
Change my ways, a different plan
Burning bridges as you pass
You find yourself alone at last
All your enemies are conquered
Is your life the one you wanted?
Now it seems so hard, stuck in what you start
Changing course, another dream
There's no turning back, it?s just so hard to tack
Life is never what it seems
Burning bridges as you pass
You find yourself alone at last
All your enemies are conquered
Is your life the one you wanted?
This is your life, this is your life
This is your life, this is your life
Tears in your eyes as you think
Of the lives you've forgotten, you've lost them
Full of surprise with your wide open eyes looking lost
Burning bridges as you pass
You find yourself alone at last
All your enemies are conquered
Is your life the one you wanted?
Burning bridges as you pass
You find yourself alone at last
All your enemies are conquered
Is your life the one you wanted?
This is your life, this is your life
This is your life, this is your life

This Is Your Life.
