Lady Kerosene Songtext
von 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 (repeat 4 times)
