Intro (w/Fig. 1) 
===== 

Part 1 (w/Fig. 1) 
====== 
Read some Kerouac and it put me on the tracks to burn a little brighter now 
Something about roman candles fizzing out, shine a little light on me now 
Found a strange fascination with a liquid fixation, alcohol can thrill me now 
It's getting late in the game to show any pride or shame  
I just burn a little brighter now, burn a little brighter now  
Doctor says my liver looks like leaving with my lover, need another time-out now 
Like any sort of hero turning down to zero still standing out in any crowd  
Pulling seventeen with experience and dreams, sweating out a happy hour 
Where you're hiding 29 you know it ain't a crime 
To burn a little brighter now, burn a little brighter now 

Interlude 
========= 
Dr. Finlay: 'And my advice is if you maintain this lifestyle you won't reach 30' 

Torch: 'Christ - it's a romantic way to go really, it's part of the heritage 
It's your round i'n'it?' 

Gtr. 2 plays this is the background. I have placed lyrics above to indicate when. 

    ..reach 30..        ..christ..      ..romantic way to go..

Part 2 (w/Fig. 1) 
====== 
We burn a little brighter now 
Read some Kerouac and it put me on the tracks to burn a little brighter now 
It was something about roman candles fizzing out, shine a little light on me now  
Found a strange fascination with a liquid fixation, alcohol thrill me now  
Getting late in the game to show any pride or shame  
Burn a little brighter now, we burn a little brighter now 
We burn a little brighter now
