New Candles

Tried all thirteen channels, but they burned me out again
'Cause it's over when, whenever they say
I quit sending postcards 'cause no one knew what to read in
Mailman can't come in to explain

So I'm out of gasoline
And I hate to see
And it's hard to never mind
It's hard to never mind

I bought myself new candles, they only burn old flames
Guess it's all the same anyway
Looked through my high school annuals to see who I still knew
But my point of view's forever changed

All this gasoline
Just goes to show that no one never minds
It's building up
Bottle rocket time

All your energy just says to me
That you never can unwind
Just bring it down
Bring it down this time

And should it count against me
If I keep everything that you send to me?
Are you going to find me so the bogs aren't empty all the time?
With Union down, you know I know this will never change

I think way too much
About the way things should be said
'Cause it just can't leave my head
All the way

It seems my brand new candles would catch on fire today
I think I might get burned anyway
All this gasoline just goes to show not everything ignites
I do my best, I don't know what is right

All your energy just says to me
That you never can unwind
Just bring it down, bring it down this time
Please bring it down, bring it down
