lyrics

We want to carry that torch.

O can’t we carry that torch?

We may get burned, still we'd carry that torch.

There’s some kinks in our plan -
we wanna get out of the underground,
but it gets velvety and so, so soft.
We can lie down in it all day long.
We’ve heard
too much exposure makes you fade.
Sometimes we still want to be nice and bright.
Do you need other people for that?

Maybe we shouldn’t admit this
if it’s wrong to want to be famous.
We want some thin wild mercury sound,
but whose eardrums will bounce around?
I guess you're s’posed to climb the rungs
and rise in the ranks -
trust in time and luck -
yeah, but flames burn out.

We want to,
can’t we
carry that torch?

Hand it us,
please hand it to us,
that bright and fiery torch.

We’ll spread some light,
we’ll spread some warmth
if we carry that torch.

"Mona tried to tell me
To stay away from the train line
She said that all the railroad men
Just drink up your blood like wine
An’ I said, 'Oh, I didn’t know that
But then again, there’s only one I’ve met
An’ he just smoked my eyelids
An’ punched my cigarette' " ... more
