Mike and the Moonpies
Burn Out
[Verse 1]
I'm a burn out
Right down the filter
Ashes and embers are all that remain
Of a good man
Right down to the letter
That never would settle when it all sounds the same

[Chorus]
Still light the fuse on your stick of dynamite
Still hypnotized by fire
Try to put me out and I'll keep putting up a fight
'Cause I'm the last of my kind

[Verse 2]
I had no choice
It's the blood runnin' through me
Since the day I was born I've had something to prove
I made a big noise
Then faded to silence
'Til all that was left were the nails and the screws

[Chorus]
Still light the fuse on your stick of dynamite
Still hypnotized by fire
Try to put me out and I'll keep putting up a fight
'Cause I'm the last of my kind
[Guitar Solos]

[Chorus]
Still light the fuse on your stick of dynamite
Still hypnotized by fire
Try to put me out and I'll keep putting up a fight
'Cause I'm the last of my kind

[Outro]
I'm a burn out
I'm down to the filter
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
