Petroleum Songtext
von Puffball

I� e been put down and been the target of scorn.
So many times I� e cursed the day I was born.
Tasted every taste and done all to the max.
I� e survived this long thanks to pills and twelvepacks.
It� all been hazy but one thing I know.
No use to fight it when you� e sunk so low.
Can� take the pressure so I bring out the torch.
Found my dead girlfriend on the front porch.


THAT碨 WHAT DID IT FOR ME, THAT碨 WHEN I LIT THE FLAME.
THAT碨 WHEN PETROLEUM HELPED ME TO GET AFTERLIFE FAME.
I GOT BACK TO ONE, GOT RID OF ALL THAT碨 BEEN WITH A MATCH AND GASOLINE.

Yeah I was put down and the target of scorn.
Sure I� a coward but I don� think you� l mourn.
The tastes I tasted was just to get away.
To escape the pain and block out the things you� say.
I stand here ready with a can of sauce.
Self-inflicted combustion and you� e the cause.
A gruesome sight but I won� feel the flames.
The fire is the only thing that cleans the stains.


THAT碨 WHAT DID IT FOR ME, THAT碨 WHEN I LIT THE FLAME.
THAT碨 WHEN PETROLEUM HELPED ME TO GET AFTERLIFE FAME.
I GOT BACK TO ONE, GOT RID OF ALL THAT碨 BEEN WITH A MATCH AND GASOLINE.
