I was just pondering   the beauty of nothing   and we all just want   an elephant gun      please heed the warnings   for god's sakes, you're glowing   don't stare at the sun   (you might just burn up)      a spark   could set this thing off.   Take care   my kerosene heart      The storm, it's a-comin'   we'd better get goin'   because they won't wake mom   and they're never wrong   the danger keeps growing,   the rowers keep rowing,   and I missed my stop   (I'll never get off)      a spark   could set this thing off.   Take care   my kerosene -    sometimes, at night,   when the wind's just right,   you can hear my heart beat.   (beat) and if you don't try   and overanalyze   then you might see things clear(ly)      The weather's all-knowing,   I tend to keep hoping   is laughing it up,   because I've had enough,   the danger keeps growing,   your dischord is showing,   and I bet this spot   will never come off.      a spark   could set this thing off.   Take care   my kerosene -    sometimes, at night,   when the moon's just right   you can hear my mind ring.   (ring) and if you don't try   to overanalyze   then you might see things clear(ly)   for all we have   is actors wth lousy parts   and the sad truth is all we've got's   a time, a place, a stage...      but now   plot, then it's over   then it's over...
