Tell me what you're doing now Before things get out of hand I've got a strange way of handling things I thought by now you'd understand Tell me what you're thinking now You know how things work in my head As soon as you've passed the corner, babe My mind is telling me our love is dead Out of reach of sunbeams I need some fire If you know what I mean You know what I mean You are my kerosene
You evasive queen You are my kerosene Seems like forever, babe I've been waiting on my turn But please, please be careful now If you spill on me, I'll burn Has it really come to this? Have I drifted off too far? Is the light that I've been following Nothing but a dying star? Hopelessly stuck in-between I gotta get some sparks flying And fuel my machine Fuel my machine You are my kerosene You forbidden dream You are my kerosene ♪ A vision serene Like Saint Augustine Most beautiful thing That I ever seen My Mary Magdalene So deadly and lean My, my serpentine Hiding in the fields of green Poison in my bloodstream
