MARILLION - Torch Song lyrics

rate me

Read some Kerouac and it put me on the tracks

To burn a little brighter now

Somethin' about Roman candles fizzin' 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

Burn a little brighter now, burn a little brighter now, yea

Doctor says my liver looks like leavin' with my lover

Need another time out now

Like any sort of hero turnin' down to zero

Standin' out in any crowd

Pullin' seventeen with experience and dreams

Sweatin' out a happy hour

When you're hidin' twenty nine 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 and burn a little brighter now

{My advice is if you maintain this lifestyle you won't reach thirty

Christ, and it's a romantic way to go really, it's part of the heritage

Should I leave?}

We burn a little brighter now, yea

Read some Kerouac and it put me on the tracks

To burn a little brighter now

It was somethin' about Roman candles fizzin' 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, yea

Burn a little brighter now, we burn a little brighter now
