Coldplay › Lyrics › A Rush of Blood to the Head

He said, "I'm gonna buy this place, burn it down
Yeah, I'm gonna put it six feet underground"
He said, " I'm gonna buy this place and see it fall
Stand here beside me baby in the crumbling walls"

He said, "I'm gonna buy this place and start a fire
Stand here until I feel all your heart's desires
'Cause I'm gonna buy this place and see it burn
And do back the things it did to you in return"

He said, "I'm gonna buy a gun and start a war
And if you can tell me something worth fighting for"
"And I'm gonna buy this place" is what I said
Blame it upon a rush of blood to the head, up to the head

Honey, all the movements you've started to make
See me crumble and fall on my face
And I know the mistakes that I've made
See it all disappear without a trace

And they call as they beckon you on
They said, "Start as you mean to go on"

He said, "I'm gonna buy this place and see it go
Stand here beside me baby, watch the orange glow
'Cause some will laugh and some just sit and cry
But you just sit down there and you wonder why"

So I'm gonna buy a gun and start a war
If you can tell me something worth fighting for
"And I'm gonna buy this place" is what I said
Blame it upon a rush of blood to the head, to the head

Honey, all the movements you've started to make
See me crumble and fall on my face
And I know the mistakes that I've made
See it all disappear without a trace

And they call as they beckon you on
They said, "Start as you mean to go on"

Start as you mean to go on
Start as you mean to go on

So meet me by the bridge, yeah meet me on the lane
When am I gonna see that pretty face again?
Oh meet me on the road, yeah meet me where I said
"Blame it all upon a rush of blood to the head"
