[Intro]
Ow!
[Verse 1]
It's always in the back of my mind
Shiver up my spine
Won't you tell me where the hell I might find
A little spark to keep me satisfied?
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I can't get it, you can see I'm not fine
I can't get it, straighten up, I'm not the kind
I can't get it, won't you throw your boy a dime?
I can't get it, just a little bit to get me by
[Chorus]
Burnin', like a cigarette alight
Burnin', oh, she's an angel in the night
Burnin', oh, you're a sight for sore eyes
Burnin', and it's keeping me alive
[Post-Chorus]
Alive
[Verse 2]
Another day alive in this auburn haze
Situation never seems to change
The vagrant on the road tells me that he knows the way
But I can't take the heat, so I think I'm here to stay
[Pre-Chorus]
I can't get it, it's an itch I can't scratch, baby
I can't get it, oh, don't tell me to relax
I can't get it, got this monkey on my back
I can't get it, so, girl, why won't you cut me some slack?
[Chorus]
Burnin', like a cigarette alight, yeah
Burnin', oh, she's an angel in the night
Burnin', oh, you're a sight for sore eyes
Burnin', and it's keeping me alive
[Post-Chorus]
Alive
Alive
Alive
Guitar!
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Burnin', like a cigarette alight, yeah
Burnin', oh, she's an angel in the night
Burnin', oh, you're a sight for sore eyes
Burnin', and it's keeping me alive
[Outro]
Alive
Alive
Alive
Yeah-yeah
Ow!
