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
