A leaf catches wind as I wake from sleep once again I was dreaming of pulling my teeth right out of my head Do you think there's some meaning to that Like maybe I'm growing too old way too fast And all my bridges are turning to ash behind my back While I've been burning my candle at both ends Don't go burning your candle at both ends I've been smoking and thinking all day Of how we might waste this whole winter away Dreaming up songs of true love gone astray And longing for spring We are hungry but never afraid We get by on crumbs and the strum of a string Because we know nothing gold ever stays We gave everything I keep burning my candle at both ends Won't stop burning that candle at both ends The storm, it is coming my way (I must be moving on) I keep running but still can't escape (The earth she curves and I go along It licks my skin gray) Can't help but feel like I'm digging my own grave I hope you enjoyed the parade (The piss stench of my rolling home) The bond that we built here today (Grows stronger with each burning sun Like the ash that we breathe Like the love that we leave) The blood and the sweat are for free We won't charge you a thing We keep burning our candle at both ends You keep burning your candle at both ends When you tell me I've been bad I will turn my head and laugh 'Cause I've been drinking gin and I've been cursing You said if you lead a life of sin Then the fire is what you get Well I'm only trying to live so I deserve it La da da...
