Lyrics

Kerosene

[Verse 1]

Everywhere I look, I see exclusive huddled, uninviting

Shelter is a privilege of the sane and competent

[Chorus]

Kerosene keeps me warm

I'm alone to watch it burn

Kerosene

[Verse 2]

Exposure is a pitiful and pointless way of dying

Before it gets me, I'll build a funeral pyre

[Chorus]

Kerosene keeps me warm

I'm alone to watch it burn

Kerosene

[Verse 3]

I'm a man and my dignity won't waive

Tonight, the buildings rage

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

Kerosene keeps me warm

I'm alone to watch it burn

Kerosene

Kerosene keeps me warm

I'm alone to watch it burn

Kerosene

Kerosene keeps me warm

Feels so good to watch it burn

Kerosene

Kerosene keeps me warm

Feels so good to watch it burn

Kerosene

Kerosene keeps me warm

Feels so good to watch it burn

Kerosene
