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
