Tell me that you hate me
And tell me to get gone
The wreckage is the proof that
I've been here too long
Cause I work, work, work
And I roam, roam, roam
And I've got no place to
Call my own
I'm a raging fire
My heart's kerosine
When I'm up in smoke
Then at least I know I'm seen
So cough me out of your lungs
Curse that I was here
You ain't sad to see me leave
But I'll make you shed a tear
And as I lay me
Down to sleep
Beside a man
Who cannot see that
If he drinks the poison
He's gonna get gone fast
And partying with me
Means that body will not last
Cause I work, work, work
And I roam, roam, roam
And I've got no place to
Call my own
I'm a raging fire
My heart's kerosine
And when I'm up in smoke
Then at least I know I'm seen
So tell me about your troubles
And the nights that you regret
About a pretty hippie
That your family won't respect
She never wants to marry
And she'll never settle down
If you give her a rock
Then she's gonna go skip town
And a rolling stone
Gathers no moss
And it gets that way
Because it has been tossed
And if I ever hurt you
And if I'm ever mean
Just remember my heart
It burns like kerosine
