Broadripple Is Burning Lyrics in English
“Broadripple is Burning” Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Children, Broadripple is burning
And the girls are getting sick
Off huffing glue up in the bathroom
While their boyfriends pick up chicks
And darling, I’m lost
I heard you whispering
That night in Fountain Square
The trash-filled streets made me wish we were heading home
But you gave me your sweater
It’s polyester, but I’ll take it
[Chorus]
Broadripple is burning
And I’m alone
You were laughing
I’m not surprised
You’ve done this before
[Verse 2]
I wish you had a little more time
To spend with me, ’cause I’m not fine
You were mine for just one night
But I’m not fine
I’m not fine
[Chorus]
Broadripple is burning
And I’m alone
You were laughing
I’m not surprised
You’ve done this before
[Bridge]
I wish you had a little more time
To spend with me, ’cause I’m not fine
You were mine for just one night
But I’m not fine
I’m not fine
[Chorus]
Broadripple is burning
And I’m alone
You were laughing
I’m not surprised
You’ve done this before
[Outro]
Broadripple is burning
And I’m alone
You were laughing
I’m not surprised
You’ve done this before
