Kerosene Heart

I was just pondering
the beauty of nothing
and we all just want
an elephant gun
please heed the warnings
for god's sakes, you're glowing
don't stare at the sun
(you might just burn up)
a spark
could set this thing off.
Take care
my kerosene heart
The storm, it's a-comin'
we'd better get goin'
because they won't wake mom
and they're never wrong
the danger keeps growing,
the rowers keep rowing,
and I missed my stop
(I'll never get off)
a spark
could set this thing off.
Take care
my kerosene -
sometimes, at night,
when the wind's just right,
you can hear my heart beat.
(beat) and if you don't try
and overanalyze
then you might see things clear(ly)
The weather's all-knowing,
I tend to keep hoping
is laughing it up,
because I've had enough,
the danger keeps growing,
your dischord is showing,
and I bet this spot
will never come off.
a spark
could set this thing off.
Take care
my kerosene -
sometimes, at night,
when the moon's just right
you can hear my mind ring.
(ring) and if you don't try
to overanalyze
then you might see things clear(ly)
for all we have
is actors wth lousy parts
and the sad truth is all we've got's
a time, a place, a stage...
but now
plot, then it's over
then it's over...
