blue lighter Lyrics

Fall from a pocket and into the grass

By the schoolyard or church, so many walk past

It's scratched up and scraped, a bit dirty too

But for some unknown reason it stands out to you

Light it up, stare at the flame

Commit arson or something more tame

For a scented candle, could be worth keeping 'round

It's an old blue lighter that's been left on the ground

It could still be used for whatever you're smoking

It's damaged, something might be broken

It may not work the first, second, third try

But perhaps if you hold it just right

On that fourth strike, you'll have light

Refuel it, it has been used

Over and over and over again

It's in need of repair, it's been kicked around

Pick up the lighter that's been left on the ground

Light it up, stare at the flame

Commit arson or something more tame

Flick it again, just to hear that sound

When you try that lighter that's been left on the ground

You may decide that it's not worth your time

That this broken blue lighter is well past its prime

It seems it's trash, not treasure you've found

So you toss that empty lighter back on the ground

Light it up, stare at the flame

Commit arson or something more tame

For a scented candle, could be worth keeping 'round

It's an old blue lighter that's been left on the ground

It's an old blue lighter

Broken old lighter

It's an old blue lighter that's been left out on the ground
