Lyrics Torch Song

Read some Kerouac and it put me on the tracks to burn a little brighter now.
It was something about roman canddles 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
I just burn a little brighter now

Doctor says my liver looks like leaving with my lover,
I need another time out now,
Like any sort of hero turnin 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

Dr. Finlay: And my advice is if you maintain this lifestyle you won't reach 30.

Torch: it's a romantic way to go really, part of the heritage. It's your round in'it

We burn a little brighter now
Read some Kerouac and it put me on the tracks to burn a
little brighter now
It was something about roman canddles fizzin out, shine
a little light on me now, I found a strange fascination
with a liquid fization, alcohol thrill me now
It's getting late in the game to show any pride or shame
We burn a little brighter now, burn a little brighter now
