Burning Up - Hot Chip

Let’s blast off

Let’s fuck shit up

Let’s go for a roller coaster ride

Even a shit roller coaster ride

Let’s jam off

Synthesize this shower up

Let’s treat 'em mean but keep 'em keen

Leave things dirty instead of clean

Let’s make ourselves at house

Take our feet off, whisper nouns

Let’s party hard but sleep longer late

Let’s smash through lockdown, tear off the gates

Let’s pretend, let’s go all night

Maybe split the difference, baby

When you turn down the lights

Over the top or under the carpet

Roll out the red

We’ve already started

Burning up, burning up

Burning up, burning up

Burning up, burning up

Burning up, burning up

Burning up, burning up

Burning up, burning up

Burning up, burning up

Burning up, burning up

Burning up

There was a time when I could explain

But now the words come with weight and blame

When I feel lighter, I might be drunk

Back to the bottom, my state has sunk

Let’s make this run

We know the way but lost some light

On my phone there is a torch

Let me lead you to the source

Burning up, burning up

Burning up, burning up

Burning up, burning up

Burning up, burning up

Let me tell you how it is with me today

I can’t see any other way

This does not come naturally

Burning up

I haven’t seen you for ten days or so

And I’ve been counting

Like a child with a fever

And now I’m burning up

My ages say I’m an adult

But somedays my heart will not be told

Hearing teenage symphonies

Dancing through my head

The younger tones are on the phone

This is how you make me feel when I’m alone

I just can’t get enough

Burning up
