Opera Burns

That day at school when the teacher asked for
A private date to ban you from school
You missed the train, stepped right into the room when
The teacher kissed your girl the way you do

Everything turned into a (total) nightmare
You feel it right now
They better turn around before you'll (ever) understand

When the opera burns
You feel that pain inside of you returns
When the opera burns
Destiny forever returns

That night at home when you turned up late
Too many drinks to tell her the truth
They've quit your job without any regrets
You found your wife in the arms of that lonesome dude

When the opera burns
You feel that pain inside of you returns
When the opera burns
Destiny forever returns
