Light It On Fire

Cowboy Mouth

It's four a.m.,

I'm drunk and alone

Trying to call you

On a public phone

I wanted passion,

I wanted desire

My heart is a flame that pains me

If I do not light it on fire



I'm the perfect picture

Of a perfect fool

You're out doing

What I wanted you to

I'm in the heartbreak hotel

And there's a desk clerk for hire

My heart is a flame that pains me

If I do not light it in fire



How can I tell you

Just how it feels

How do you make love stay

And how do you know

If what's staying is real



I was the one

Full of whiskey and talk

I was the one

With the skip in his walk

You say the truth hurts,

Yeah well, so does a liar

My heart is a flame that pains me

If I do not light it on fire
