lyrics

Like a fire by the rising tide: burn
Like the soap that cleans your wounds: burn
Like your freckled skin after hours in the garden:
burn.
Burn.
Burn.
Like the letter no one is supposed to read
Like the torch on the walls of the temple
Like the lawn green sawgrass growing in the Everglades
Burn.
Burn.
Burn.
Like the scarecrow when he meets the witch.
Like the coils in your vaporizer.
Like the CD in your disk-drive when the download is complete.
Burn.
Burn.
Burn.
Like the Vampire stumbling in the sunlight
Like the wings on Icarus when he disobeys his dad
Like the paper that you rolled around a spoonful of nutmeg
Burn.
Burn.
Burn.

A block or two away from a blazing ball of gas
A pebble on the turnpike around a larger clump mass
And your only purpose on this earth, as far as I can tell,
Is to burn until you're the last tree in hell.

Like the protesting Buddhist monk
Like the candle flickering in the synagogue
Like the Norwegian church in 1994
Burn
Burn
