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:) "And my advice is if you maintain this lifestyle you won't reach thirty"
|
(Torch:) "It's a kind of romantic way to go really, part of the heritage.
|
It's your round i'n'it?"
|
|
We burn a little brighter now
|

We burn a little brighter now, burn a little brighter now
