BURNING LOVE

“my heart’s wood, she’s a carpenter”

“this pier lights our carnival life forever”

“my feet they finally took root in the earth, but I got me a nice little place in the stars”

“outside the street’s on fire in a real death waltz, between what’s flesh and what’s fantasy”

“I was born blue and weathered then I burst just like a supernova”

“I would rather feel the hurt inside, yes I would darlin’, than know the emptiness your heart must hide”

“everything dies baby that’s a fact but maybe everything that dies someday comes back”

“sometimes it’s like someone took a knife baby edgy and dull and cut a six-inch valley through the middle of my skull”

“take a knife and cut this pain from my heart, find somebody itching for something to start”

“I came for you but your life was one long emergency”

“sometimes it might seem like it was planned for you to roam empty hearted through this land”

“romeo and juliet, samson and delilah, you can bet their love they didn’t deny”
