Get the fire burning
Shelter from the dark
Vapors in the night sky
Sneaking slowly by
Balancing a pistol
One finger at a halt
Running through the forest
We're looking for the salt

Wrote a note for Valentine
Sealed with alcohol
Doused her home with gasoline
Goddamn, it burned so bright
She said I was a vampire
She'd never tell a soul
I sealed her lips with barbed wire
She saw the fire

Streets are running through the trees
And now they're slick with blood
Everclear runs through me
What's been said must now be done

Narcissism chooses me
I'll probably never win
Find a pasture for the herd
My indiscretions are stampeding out of control

The blaze knows exactly where she went to tell
A single reminder of the moonlight's spell
The box of matches screams with delight
As a flame springs forth to encompass the night

Wrote a note for Valentine
Sealed with alcohol
Doused her home with gasoline
Goddamn, it burned so bright
She said I was a vampire
She'd never tell a soul
I sealed her lips with barbed wire
She saw the fire
She saw the fire
