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

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

Where you're hiding 29 you know it ain't a crime

To 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

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

We burn a little brighter now
