lady kerosene

Spin Doctors

I saw you sighing by your window bright,
Touch my heart to be your acolyte
Sip fire-water from the golden cup
Drinks at my bedside, as I?m burning up.

Lady kerosene, I can see the wreckage now,
Drinking gasoline, you keep on pumpin? it out somehow.

Now I?m at ashland, baby, far away
I?m just a cinder of a summer?s day.
Lady kerosene, prometheus? evil daughter;
You know what I mean,
I even asked him for a glass of water.

I always thought it was a gentle notion
I flew across the atlantic ocean
Rain is different there across the sea
It hits the earth a little differently
Windshield wipers keep a steady time
Crosswords among the cliffs of lime
Beyond horizon and the clouds of devotion
Comes sunset?s tendons from your crimson sun

Lady kerosene
Lady kerosene
Lady kerosene
Lady kerosene
