Graham Parker - Burnin' on a Higher Flame lyrics

The night falls dark around me, and the dogs bark out a curse A bad dreams twist inside me and I scream for a doctor or a nurse But I'm just dyin' for morning, watch the sun rise like a pearl Just to feel the breath of your life as your smile lights up the world And I'm burnin' on a higher flame, burning' on a higher flame burning' on a higher flame, burning' on a higher flame Oh hoo burnin, burnin A lot of things in this world make a man fall down and cry The hell hound's on my trail, and the mighty rivers run dry But now I know you're with me, I stand above it all And take the pain they give me, make it nothing like a pain at all And I'm burnin' on a higher flame, burning' on a higher flame burning' on a higher flame, burning' on a higher flame Oh hoo burnin, burnin And I'm burnin' on a higher flame, burning' on a higher flame burning' on a higher flame, burning' on a higher flame Oh hoo burnin, burnin yes I'm burnin, burnin then Burnin, Burnin, Burnin,Burnin
