Lady Kerosene lyrics

Song information

Artist: Spin Doctors
Album: Up For Grabs

Lyrics

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)
