    Default ritchie kotzen - burn it down

    I searched all over the web but I can't find it!
    All I could do was listen to the music and try to understand on my own, but my result was quite incomplete, so could you help me?

    If someone would like to understand the words listening the song, because believe there's no trace of them written, this is a youtube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4p2PGEalwM
    it's really a beatiful song, so listen anyway even if you don't mean to help me with the lyrics ;D

    thanks in advance

    For starters I paste here the "backbone", as I found some tries to improve lyrics at this website: http://www.requestlyrics.com/read.php?1,862320,862320

    i drove a brand new car
    coloured black and red
    and a big old house
    WITH A KING SIZED BED
    all money could buy
    was a bed i had
    to one day i'll LAUGH
    and my woman SAID

    you know you're playing with fire
    you burn it down to the ground
    down down down to the ground

    i travelLED in first class
    and the time i CHOSE
    playing on the road
    town to town show to show

    and one day in FALL
    CAME TWO AHEAD
    and she found her sisters sleeping in my bed

    SHE SAID YOUR playing with fire
    you burn it down to the ground
    down down down

    i went from black to red
    all my money spent
    ??
    to living in a NEW room
    don't you think CHAMPAGNE? on ice
    to (?)
    i've lost everything i knew

    JUST BY crossing YOU

    you've sent to playing with fire
    burn it down to the ground
    down down down to the ground

    --------------------------------------------

    Now it is maybe easier to start from this lyrics?
    So, if anyone got improving to do, come here and make your suggestions

    I suggest the following:

    and one day it all
    came to her head
    when she found her sister sleeping in my bed

    meaning that she recognized what was happening..

    don't you think CHAMPAGNE? on ice

    -> Drank Champagne on ice


    ?? (From 5th Avenue down)
    to living in a NEW room


    This part wants to show the change he has undergone the first line is something about luxury then.. I would leave out the "NEW" as he's not living in a new room but a SINGLE room (the difference between his old status and the new one with no money left) so "a" is fine here I think

    I agree with the rest still trying to find out the unclear line.. something with avenue maybe? Ah I hear it.. "from 5th avenue down"
    होता है जो होना है ... वक़्त ही शायद खुदा है ...

    someone answered on azlyrics with a perfect version, I report it here too so maybe it could be useful in future:

    ----

    i drove a brand new car
    colored black and red
    and a big old house
    with a king-sized bed
    all money could buy
    was all that i had
    till one day i laughed
    and my woman said

    you know you're playing with fire
    you burned it down to the ground
    down down down to the ground

    i traveled in first class
    anytime i chose
    playing on the road
    town to town show to show

    and one day it all
    came to a head
    when she found her sister sleeping in my bed

    she said you're playing with fire
    you burn me down to the ground
    down down to the ground

    i went from black to red
    all my money spent
    from 5th Avenue down
    to living in a room
    from champagne on ice
    to canned beans and rice
    i lost everything i knew
    just by crossing you

    you said you're playing with fire
    i burn it down to the ground
    down down down to the ground

    ----

    thanks again for the help

    good, that beans line really makes sense
    होता है जो होना है ... वक़्त ही शायद खुदा है ...
