Empty bottles on a dusty wooden floor A remedy I've tried too many times It goes in my mind of shouts and slamming doors I've done better with goodbye 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 begin to 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 till the embers start to tire A faded memory that I've 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 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
