The Occasional Flicker

I don't want sympathy, No

Somewhere for these sins to go

Compromise is the devil talking and he spoke to me

He mentioned something of moving in

I conversed once with him and yes

He related to me how necessity is evil's mother

He has no father

Only victims weak or strong

I hope this won't take long

It won't take long

I was right the first time

I'll put it right with thirst now

Well, you might say I'm trying to redeem myself and in a way

I think this is true

I'm just trying to chew off more than those people that bite more than I do

You could say I'm a bitter man

I would agree I think this is true

I will remain so until I know more than those that know more than I do

It kind of reminds me of that burning feeling

I used to get

Yeah?

Kind of reminds me, it's the same kind of feeling

I see

You know that, you know the little problem I used to get

What problem?

You know the problem

Are you still getting trouble with that?

Yeah, not all the time or anything

Like it was?

Yeah, sometimes

Are you sure it's not heartburn?

Heartburn, no it's not a bit like heartburn, it's nothing like that

You know that problem, the one I used to get

Oh yeah

Well I still get trouble

Somethings I won't forget

Nothing big, nothing important

Just a little incident about burning

It's just a little matter of a burning

It's not arson, it's not arson

Nothing to get excited about

It's my own problem I'll deal with it in my own time, alright?

My burning, oh my burning

Like I said, it's my problem I'll deal with it myself

Ooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah
