Pass the Kerosene Songtext
von The Peculiar Pretzelmen

This towns like a ship that was built to sink
Taking on water while they pass around drinks
Too busy to notice the whole structures unsound
Wearing their delusion like a dislodged crown

The band′s on the deck playing boldly on
Waters hell on a cello, but you've got to finish the song
Our song is over, I′m through with this crew
When the horse has broken both legs
Well you know what you gotta to do

Chop, Chop cherie
Pass the Kerosene
The engines are turning and we're picking up steam
Tonight's the night
We′ll set the town alight


The towers will tumble and we′ll dance by the light
It's them or us, baby if you know what I mean
So here′s to us, baby
Now pass the kerosene

The carnivals marked the games are all rigged
The banker, the broker, the mayor the pigs
Not so much a town as a broken merry-go-round
She keeps on twisting, drilling herself right into the ground
We're all on the ride, and we′re running out of time
But I'm stopping it here, it′s the end of my line
You can stay on the tracks, she's going straight to hell
I'll kiss you goodbye, I′ll be ringing the bell

Chop, chop, cherie
Pass the Kerosene
The engines are turning and they′re picking up steam
Tonight's the night
We′ll set the town alight

The towers will tumble and we'll dance by the light
It′s them or us, if you know what I mean
So here's to us, baby
Now pass the kerosene
