Paul Kelly
Pouring Petrol on a Burning Man
[Verse 1]
I've been pumping on the jack
All my lonely days are stacked
Now I'm heading straight for you
I've been working on the wire
I've been putting out these fires
Now I'm heading straight for you

[Chorus]
Oh, my angel
I'm carrying the can
Oh, my angel
You're pouring petrol on a burning man

[Verse 2]
I've been changing dirty oil
Now my rags are really soiled
And I'm heading straight for you
I've been laying it too thick
I've been cleaning up the slick
Now I'm heading straight for you

[Chorus]
Oh, my angel
I'm carrying the can
Oh, my angel
You're pouring petrol on a burning man
[Bridge]
Every night above my bed
Every night inside my head
I'm heading straight for you

[Chorus]
Oh, my angel
I'm carrying the can
Oh, my angel
I'm carrying the can
Oh, my angel
You're pouring petrol on a burning man

[Outro]
Burning man
Burning man
Burning man
