I was talkin to my friends today
I don't know why you can't take me literally
There's always something wrong with you
Like fire
Just to watch the flames grow higher and higher
We'll have fun as we watch the sky turn to grey

It's back to the basics
Back to the basics again
Build it all up just to tear it up again
Ashes to ashes, to ashes again
I wonder if we could build it safe? Yeah

It's back to the basics
Back to the basics, again
Build it all up to tell me again
Ashes to ashes, to ashes again
I wonder if we could build it safe?

I was talking to my friends today
I don't know why you can't take it literally
There's always someone on our secret today

It's back to the basics
Back to the basics again
You build it all up just to tear it again
Ashes to ashes to ashes again
I wonder if we we could build it safe? Yeah
