Burning Out In Style Songtext / Lyric

Anyone can be the one that you want

you only have to see it through until you feel indifference

take a wife, a child, a family name

file them under Johnson, Doe, Smith, or Boring

still condos in simple town to settle down



on a wing and a smile, you go out in style

you're going out in style

as long as you look the part above your empty heart

you're not as you appear,

they're not as they appear



appearances are made on Saturdays

lessons come from gunfights, late nights, and courtesies

anyone can define where you are

choking on elixirs, mixers, and caviar

but I'm not getting through to you in a song






on a wing and a smile, you go out in style

you're going out in style

as long as you look the part above your weary heart

it's not as it appears,

you're not as you appear



but I'm not getting through to you in a song



on your way up the hill,

I thought you wouldn't fail

I thought you couldn't fail

they look good from afar

in that shiny car

they're not as they appear

it's not as it appears



hanging out in tribes

superstitions we subscribe

bat habits in denial

good times



so bright, so bright

now you're burning out in style
