lyrics

I'm burning out faster than
The tip of my cigarette this evening.
That's why I"m leaving.
The train leaves at nine, oh won't you comply,
I wish that you'd refuse to se me.
Oh you won't see me.
I've learned that it's rude to be
Anything you like with guarantee
Of such a fee.
So I can deny everything
That you have worked for in me.
In me.
In me, yeah.

I loved you when I knew it was rude to stare
And a kiss was obscene.
Break my throne and cut my hair,
Keep the madness out of reach.
Balloons go off like handguns in the
Middle of a crowd.
Contemporary artists filled our
Canvases with clouds.
I'll take you back to better times
Before we fought for days on end.
If not for flashlights and cop cars
The summer would not end.
And so I'm getting on this train
And I'm never looking back.
And I know in the morning
I will miss you.

So I sat down on the train,
Next to a burlesque girl called Kate.
And she was filled with hate.
I asked her where she was from, and where she was going
She said nowhere fast.
Sir, nowhere fast.
I'm burning out faster than
The tip of my cigarette this evening.
That's why I'm leaving.
So I can deny everything
That you have worked for
in me.
In me, yeah.

I loved you when I knew it was rude to stare
And a kiss was obscene.
Break my throne and cut my hair,
Keep the madness out of reach.
Balloons go off like handguns in the
Middle of a crowd.
Contemporary artists filled our
Canvases with clouds.
I'll take you back to better times
Before we fought for days on end.
If not for flashlights and cop cars
The summer would not end.
And so I'm getting on this train
And I'm never looking back.
And I know in the morning
I will miss you.
