The bright glow of the orange city dark Cast brief shadows on the street where you parked I know you're tired but still restless where you lay Warm from the sun it was just too much today The lights come on With kerosene It burns my lungs When you look that way to me Tear me down But please don't call my name I can't resist it When you need someone to blame You haven't been seventeen in all these years Latent reaction to a new familiar fear Surrounded by your fringe friends' compromise Dull to the tracing of recycled alibis The lights come on With kerosene It burns my lungs When you look that way to me Tear me down But please don't call my name I can't resist it When you need someone to blame
