Torch Song Lyrics - Singles - Marillion

Read some Kerouac and it put me on the tracks to burn a little brighter now 

Something about roman candles fizzing out, shine a little light on me now 

Found a strange fascination with a liquid fixation, alcohol can thrill me now 

It's getting late in the game to show any pride or shame 

I just burn a little brighter now, burn a little brighter now 

Doctor says my liver looks like leaving with my lover, need another time-out now 

Like any sort of hero turning down to zero still standing out in any crowd 

Pulling seventeen with experience and dreams, sweating out a happy hour 

Where you're hiding 29 you know it ain't a crime 

To burn a little brighter now, burn a little brighter now 

Dr. Finlay: "And my advice is if you maintain this lifestyle 

you won't reach 30" 

Torch: "Christ - it's a romantic way to go really, it's part 

of the heritage, it's your round i'n'it?" 

We burn a little brighter now 

Read some Kerouac and it put me on the tracks to burn a little brighter now 

It was something about roman candles fizzing out, shine a little light on me now 

Found a strange fascination with a liquid fixation, alcohol thrill me now 

Getting late in the game to show any pride or shame 

Burn a little brighter now, we burn a little brighter now 

We burn a little brighter now
