Torch Song

(Fish, Steve Rothery, Mark Kelly, Pete Trewavas, Ian Mosley) 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, yeah 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, 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"
