Rum Drunks, The - An Arsonist Like Me lyrics

rate me

I burn this fire for you tonight

I sing this song with all my might

And hope the flame will see the light of day

I found a way to keep it in

To keep it down beneath my sin

And no one’s gonna tell me when to pay

In a trailer far away

Beside myself I saw a day

When all the dogs would spray a common tree

So when you see the sky look black

You smell the smoke and feel the crack

Look into my eyes and make believe

I know I’m not like him and I don’t want to be

How could you fall in love with an arsonist like me?

I put my ear against the ground

The bastardation of a sound

Came round the corner and it knocked me down
