She Burns Away

She don’t act quite like she used to

She caught that fever when she found out how the night moves

She digs a hole knowing not what she’s getting into

Carrying the dreams she knows that she may never get to

She burns away

She burns away

She takes a lemon with her brandy

She flies so high

I don’t think she’ll ever be landing

But she’s hard and sweeter than the sweetest summer candy

She flies so high

I don’t think she’ll ever be landing

Cos she burns away

She burns away

Go home by the fourth

Cos baby

She’s crazy by the fifth

What you can’t afford

Is exactly

What she breathes and needs to live

I’m a smooth dog with a cool cool cat

And I don’t think I can deny that

I’ve been here before

Walking through that door

Runnin’ ‘round

But I don’t know what for

I think that she’s the devil’s daughter

The summer breeze in mid-July

I bet she's hotter

But I’m not bettin’ either way

No I’m not for her

But if she dares to call your name

You best adore her

Cos she burns away

She burns away

I’m a smooth dog with a cool cool cat

And I don’t think I can deny that

I’ve been here before

Walking through that door

Runnin’ ‘round

But I don’t know what for

I think I’m going crazy in the head

She thinks I gotta go instead

I don’t wanna die here

Or lie here alone

She burns away all through the day

She burns away all through the day

I’m a smooth dog with a cool cool cat

And I don’t think I can deny that

I’ve been here before

Walking through that door

Runnin’ ‘round

But I don’t know what for
