Empty bottles on a dusty wooden floor A remedy I’ve tried too many times Echoes in my mind of shouts and slamming doors I’ve done better with goodbyes Now the sun is heading back into its grave
It’s a cold october night Taste the autumn air and hope to find a way To keep the dark out of my mind
Kerosene, kerosene She lit me up She left me numb I call her kerosene Kerosene, kerosene She lit me up She left me numb I call her kerosene
Light a candle as I lay me down to sleep Watch the room around me glow Listen quietly to wind and rustling leaves In the silence I’m at home In my dreams I see her standing by the fire
Granite eyes reflect the flames Humming softly ´til the embers start to tire A faded memory that I saved
Kerosene, kerosene She lit me up She left me numb I call her kerosene Kerosene, kerosene She lit me up She left me numb I call her kerosene
Mmm, mmm Mmm, mmm
Kerosene, kerosene She lit me up
She left me numb I call her kerosene Kerosene, kerosene She lit me up She left me numb I call her kerosene
