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:)
