Another verse, with part one played once. Then the final chorus, with part one played
twice, and part two played twice. Part two is repeated twice more for the shouting of
"Every night I burn, scream the animal scream/dream the crow black dream!". Then the
outro, with solo two and part two played over each other a few times. And then that's it!
Here's the lyrics for reference:
THE CURE - Burn
Verse 1:
"Don't look, don't look", the shadows breathe,
Whispering me away from you,
"Don't wake an eye to watch her sleep,
And know that you will always sleep."
This trembling drone
Dazzled burn like gold
Chorus 1:
Everynight I burn,
Everynight I call your name,
Everynight I burn,
Everynight I fall again.
Verse 2:
"Don't talk of love", the shadows burn,
Murmuring me away from you,
"Don't talk of worlds that never were:
The end is all that's ever true.
There's nothing you can ever say;
Nothing you can ever do."
Chorus 2:
Still, everynight I burn,
Everynight I scream your name,
Everynight I burn,
Evernight the dream's the same.
Everynight I burn,
Waiting for my only friend,
Enerynight I burn,
Waiting for the world to end.
(solo here)
Verse3:
"Just paint your face", the shadows smile,
Slipping me away from you,
"It doesn't matter how you hide,
We'll find you if we're wanting to.
So slide back down and close your eyes,
Sleep awhile you must be tired."
Final chorus:
Everynight I burn,
Everynight I call your name,
Everynight I burn,
Everynight I fall again.
Everynight I burn,
And scream the animal scream,
Everynight I burn,
And dream the crow-black dream,
Everynight I burn,
Scream the animal scream!
Everynight I burn,
Dreaming the crow-black dream!
