[Verse 1]

I wanted to show you

How to be brave

You just wanted to teach me

How to behave

And it's always

[Chorus]

Julia

Why are we so tired?

I couldn't change

Julia

I've been starting fires

To light your way

I'm burning down this city

[Verse 2]

I feel like a fool

Telling you everything I think

I know is true

I just wanted to save you

From the big lie

That we deserve everything that we have

And it's always

[Chorus]

Julia

Why are we so tired?

I couldn't change

Julia

I've been starting fires

To light your way

I'm burning down this city

[Bridge]

Gasoline blows

Now, I'm coming down

From the mountains in the afternoon

Bathe in the red-orange nuclear glow

And I'm coming down

From the mountain in the afternoon

Bask in the red-orange gasoline show

[Chorus]

Julia

Why are we so tired?

I couldn't change

Julia

I've been starting fires

To light your way

Julia

Why are we so tired?

I couldn't change

Julia

I've been starting fires

To light your way

I'm burning down this city
