Martini Kiss

[Verse 1] There's poison in my drinking glass Don't stop, just sip it down And in a swirling masquerade of sound My body hits the ground I'm beautiful when I'm asleep Martini kisses land On my blistered bloody scarlet lips The bottle's in my hand [Chorus] Burn out, not fade away Burn out, not fade away Burn out, not fade away Burn out, not fade away Burn out, not fade away Burn out, not fade away [Post-Chorus] I'll speak in riddles so you can understand I'll draw in pencil so you can trace with pen So in love with me like sand to wet feet I'll write both our names into the wet concrete [Verse 2] We're glistening like silver spoons Beneath the summer night Oh, can you smell the subtle hint of frost As the flowers start to cry? The autumn winds are bringing graves To all the emerald trees They're so beautiful in their dismay The colors slowly bleed [Chorus] Burn out, not fade away Burn out, not fade away Burn out, not fade away Burn out, not fade away Burn out, not fade away Burn out, not fade away [Post-Chorus] I'll speak in riddles so you can understand I'll draw in pencil so you can trace with pen So in love with me like sand to wet feet I'll write both our names into the wet concrete [Bridge] The pawns will fade away Burn out, not fade away Burn out, not fade away The king's at his checkmate Burn out, not fade away Burn out, not fade away And I sit here with a sick grin Choking as I laugh until I die [Outro] Burn out, not fade away Burn out, not fade away Burn out, not fade away Burn out, not fade away
