She Burns Away

[Verse 1]
She don’t act quite like she used to
She caught that fever when she found out how the night moves
She digs a hole knowing not what she’s getting into
Carrying the dreams she knows that she may never get to

[Refrain]
She burns away
She burns away

[Verse 2]
She takes a lemon with her brandy
She flies so high
I don’t think she’ll ever be landing
But she’s hard and sweeter than the sweetest summer candy
She flies so high
I don’t think she’ll ever be landing

[Refrain]
Cos she burns away
She burns away

[Bridge]
Go home by the fourth
Cos baby
She’s crazy by the fifth
What you can’t afford
Is exactly
What she breathes and needs to live

[Chorus]
I’m a smooth dog with a cool cool cat
And I don’t think I can deny that
I’ve been here before
Walking through that door
Runnin’ ‘round
But I don’t know what for

[Verse 2]
I think that she’s the devil’s daughter
The summer breeze in mid-July
I bet she's hotter
But I’m not bettin’ either way
No I’m not for her
But if she dares to call your name
You best adore her

[Refrain]
Cos she burns away
She burns away

[Chorus]
I’m a smooth dog with a cool cool cat
And I don’t think I can deny that
I’ve been here before
Walking through that door
Runnin’ ‘round
But I don’t know what for

[Post-Chorus]
I think I’m going crazy in the head
She thinks I gotta go instead
I don’t wanna die here
Or lie here alone

She burns away all through the day
She burns away all through the day

[Chorus]
I’m a smooth dog with a cool cool cat
And I don’t think I can deny that
I’ve been here before
Walking through that door
Runnin’ ‘round
But I don’t know what for
