I’m On Fire Blues

Well it don’t matter anymore.

Don’t know why I waste my time.

Can’t see too far past my door.

Just got too much on my mind.

Waking up in the morning.

still got last night on my breath.

Going to work will be boring.

Don’t care if my head is a mess.

Getting high is my past time.

coming down is such a drag.

With a drink I don’t waste my time.

Got my lunch in this paper bag.

I’ve been told to face the world.

But I’m tellin’ them let me be.

They answer me back that my mind is all burned

but it’s they themselves cannot see.

(Chorus)

I’m on fire. Yeah, babe I’m on fire.

Call the Marshall, call the law

I might not be here for long.

I’m on fire

I’m burnin’

and the whole town is turnin’

upside down.

Now I know that it’s not good.

Everything that I do.

I’ve been told that I’ll die young.

When you’re gone I’ll piss on you.

When I walk in the circus erupts

Got my monkey close at hand.

I always promise that I’d cut it out.

But I’m just singing to the band.

(Chorus)

I’m on fire. Yeah, babe I’m on fire.

Call the Marshall, call the law

I might not be here for long.

I’m on fire

I’m burnin’

and the whole town is turnin’

upside down.

You could say this is my scream out

it’s my inner child, subsidized.

I could tell it’s what my dad did

But it’d be a pack of lies.

So if you’re not sure how to take me

Take or leave, I don’t care.

I’ll say just about anything

And I’m outta here like a mare.
