Burn And Shine Lyrics - Singles - Posies

Burn and shine, son, and keep your spirit clean 

For this is not a dress rehearsal 

Junior phoenix with your ash-filled eyes 

Who will harbor your misfortune 

Your mother says, your father says 

He does not want to tell you 

As if he didn't know you 

Behind the lighthouse there's still the hole you made 

Better fill it in or it will get you 

So talcum powder is now your closest friend 

Smooth and white and ordinary 

Your father says, your mother says 

She does not want to tell you 

As if she didn't know you 

And in the dream everyone is holding hands 

In a circle and you heal, heal 

Do you remember the taste of pemmican 

Then say hello to Hiawatha 

And she's still frowning at your puffy face 

Overweight and barely breathing 

No one ever said a word 

They did not want to tell you 

As if they didn't know you 

As if they didn't know you 

As if they didn't know you 

Burn and shine 

You burn and shine
