Brief Candle Lyrics

Brought himself into the parlor where Lucy and Vivian played

Two handed bridge for tequila shots and a chance to get laid

Burned out another brief candle

The story is now at an end

You always grow tired of your lover

You never get bored with a friend

The windows were sucking a lime slice while the poet got lost in his pants

The parlor was green yellow hazy with teardrops of mopped up romance

Burned out another brief candle

The story is now at an end

You always grow tired of your lover

You never get bored with a friend

And suddenly out by the window the sky muttered blackness and fear

The room filled with red indecision while somebody whispered I hear

I burned out another brief candle

The story is now at an end

You always grow tired of your lover

You never get bored with a friend

Lucy went running for shelter while Vivian stared through the floor

The poet got lost in a love song and silence came asking for more

I burned out another brief candle

The story is now at an end

You always grow tired of your lover

You never get bored with a friend

He brought himself out of the parlor and rested a hand on his eyes

This time the moment was stolen next time he'll wear a disguise

I burned out another brief candle

The story is now at an end

You always grow tired of your lover

You never get bored with a friend

You always grow tired of your lover

You never get bored with a friend
