Jason Isbell - Burn.flicker.die lyrics

Dollar bill prescriptions in a bathroom stall Red headed women and alcohol Say it ain't so, say it ain't last call Dollar bill prescriptions in a bathroom stall Red headed women and alcohol Say it ain't so, say it ain't last call A whiskey on the rocks and adderall A whiskey on the rocks and adderal We're no different than the neon lights When you turn us on we stay up all night We do what we can, we put up a fight Then we burn too long and we flicker and die It's nights like these that the d** don't work It's getting in the way instead of pickin me up I wish my addictions didn't mean so much But we all can't be born with that kind of luck You can try but you won't fix what's wrong with me Every night I'm my own worst enemy I'll find a way to quit when they bury me Cause I can't turn down the drinks when they're free They can't turn down when the drinks are for free We're no different than the neon lights When you turn us on we stay up all night We do what we can, we put up a fight Then we burn too long and we flicker and die Every girl in that bar looked like 1965 With her sailor tattoos and her drawn out eyes Every now then she still crosses my mind And by every now and then I mean most of the time By every now and then I mean all of the time We're no different than the neon lights When you turn us on we stay up all night We do what we can, we put up a fight Then we burn too long and we flicker and die We burn too long we flicker and die (12x)
