Chris Kimsey - Torch Song lyrics

Read some Kerouac and it put me on the tracks to burn a little brighter now Something about Roman candles fizzing out, shine a little light on me now 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, burn a little brighter now, yeah Doctor says my liver looks like leaving with my lover Need another 'time out' now Like any sort of hero turning down to zero Still standing out in any crowd Pulling seventeen with experience and dreams Sweating out a happy hour When you're hiding 29 you know it ain't a crime To burn a little brighter now Burn a little brighter now, 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: "Christ -- it's a romantic way to go really, it's part of the heritage, it's your round i'n'it? We burn a little brighter now, yeah Read some Kerouac and it put me on the tracks to burn a little brighter now It was something about Roman candles fizzing out Shine a little light on me now Found a strange fascination with a liquid fixation, alcohol thrill me now Getting late in the game to show any pride or shame Burn a little brighter now We burn a little brighter now, yeah Burn a little brighter now, we burn a little brighter now
