Torch Song |
| Read some Kerouac and it put me on the track |
| To burn a little brighter now |
| It was something about roman candles fizzin' out |
| Shine a little light on me now |
| I found a strange fascination with a liquid fixation |
| Alcohol can thrill me now |
| It’s getting late in the game to show any pride or shame |
| Burn a little brighter now |
| Doctor says my liver looks like leaving with my lover |
| Need another time out now |
| Like any sort of hero turnin' down to zero |
| Standing out in any crowd |
| Pulling seventeen with experience and dreams |
| Sweating out a happy hour |
| When you’re hiding twenty nine you know it ain’t a crime |
| To burn a little brighter now, burn a little brighter now |
| (spoken — doctor:) «and my advice is if you maintain this lifestyle you won’t |
| reach thirty» |
| (torch:) «it's a kind of romantic way to go really, part of the heritage |
| It’s your round i’n’it? |
| «We burn a little brighter now |
| Read some kerouac and it put me on the track to burn a little brighter now |
| It was something about roman candles fizzin' out |
| Shine a little light on me now |
| I found a strange fascination with a liquid fixation |
| Alcohol thrill me now |
| Getting late in the game to show any pride or shame |
| We burn a little brighter now, burn a little brighter now |
