Katie Kerosene Lyrics

Katie digs a hole

With a five-foot pole

And lays in the dirt

Tries to light a match

To burn up all the past

But it doesn't work

Covers up her legs

And pretends she's dead

Just to trick the sun

Lays around for years

Soil soaked with tears

But it never comes

Daddy's lost at sea

Drowned in apathy

And five dollar booze

Mommy keeps her cool

Wipes away her drool

From a midday snooze

Brother Danny's dead

Still he lives in her head

Like a fever dream

She makes the leaves turn red

When she gets in bed

She's Kerosene
