Kerosene

Empty bottles on a dusty wooden floor A remedy I've tried too many times Echoes in my mind of shouts and slamming doors I've done better with goodbyes Now the sun is heading back into its grave It's a cold October night Taste the autumn air and hope to find a way To keep the dark out of my mind Kerosene, kerosene She lit me up, she left me numb I call her kerosene Kerosene, kerosene She lit me up, she left me numb I call her kerosene Light a candle as I lay me down to sleep Watch the room around me glow Listen quietly to wind and rustling leaves In the silence I'm at home In my dreams, I see her standing by the fire Granite eyes reflect the flames Humming softly 'til the embers start to tire A faded memory that I saved Kerosene, kerosene She lit me up, she left me numb I call her kerosene Kerosene, kerosene She lit me up, she left me numb I call her kerosene Mm-mm, mm-mm Mm-mm, mm-mm Kerosene, kerosene She lit me up, she left me numb I call her kerosene Kerosene, kerosene She lit me up, she left me numb I call her kerosene
