Torch Song
Read some Kerouac and it put me on the tracks to burn a little brighter now.
Something about roman candles fizzing out, shine a little light on me now,
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
I just burn a little brighter now, burn a little brighter now, yeah.
Doctor says my liver looks like leaving with my lover, need another 'time out' now
Like any sort of hero turning down to zero still standing out in any crowd
Pulling seventeen with experience and dreams, sweating out a happy hour,
Where you're hiding 29 you know it ain't a crime to burn a little brighter now,
burn a little brighter now, burn a little brighter now, burn a little brighter now
Dr. Finlay:
And my advice is if you maintain this lifestyle you won't reach 30
Torch:
Christ -- it's a romantic way to go really,
it's part of the heritage, it's your round i'n'it?
We burn a little brighter now, yeah
Read some Kerouac and it put me on the tracks to burn a little brighter now.
It was something about roman candles fizzing out, shine a little light on me now
Found a strange fascination with a liquid fixation, alcohol thrill me now
Getting late in the game to show any pride or shame
burn a little brighter now, we burn a little brighter now, yeah
Burn a little brighter now, we burn a little brighter now
