His Lamest Flame

[Verse 1]
The knees are bent and the hands are clasped
The painted head is bowed
A sudden glimpse through heaven’s gate
Is all that I'm allowed
My hair is black and my eyes are green
But Marie is not my name

[Refrain]
Na, na, na-na, na, na, na-na, na
His lamest flame

[Chorus]
His lamest flame will be
Too brief and burn too pale
And all attempts to fire it up again will fail
I run around behind his friends
And play the waiting game

[Refrain]
Na, na, na-na, na, na, na-na, na
His lamest flame

[Verse 2]
I tell myself a million times there’s nothing I can do
So why do I keep holding on?
I only wish I knew
I was born too weak and I feel like a fool
But he's out of my domain

[Refrain]
Na, na, na-na, na, na, na-na, na
His lamest flame

[Chorus]
His lamest flame will die
Before the night is out
Just a heap of ash
The wind has blown about

[Verse 3]
For him, these feelings fade away
But for me, they’re still the same

[Refrain]
Na, na, na-na, na, na, na-na, na
His lamest flame

[Chorus]
His lamest flame is here
And flickering its last
And through the dying light
We journey to the past

[Verse 4]
But still I’d give up all I’ve got
To have him back again

[Refrain]
Na, na, na-na, na, na, na-na, na
His lamest flame
Na, na, na-na, na, na, na-na, na
His lamest flame
Na, na, na-na, na, na, na-na, na
His lamest flame

[Outro]
