love like kerosene

i've been spendin' all my money

started smokin' cigarettes

sleepin' with the bottle

she's not finished with me yet

she's like bad bad whiskey

devilish fever dream

but i'm not sleeping near the fire

her love's like kerosene

said she'd meet me in the alleyway

'round quarter to twelve

said she'd bring some pills and liquor

we're gonna raise some hell

she's like bad bad whiskey

devilish fever dream

but i'm not sleeping near the fire

her love's like kerosene

well i know i'm not a young man

and it's time to settle down

but every time she comes around

i totally lose my mind

she's like bad bad whiskey

devilish fever dream

but i'm not sleeping near the fire

her love's like kerosene

i've been spendin' all my money

started smokin' cigarettes

i've been sleepin' at the bottom

she's not finished with me yet

she's like bad bad whiskey

devilish fever dream

but i'm not sleeping near the fire

her love's like kerosene

and i'm not sleeping near the fire

her love's like kerosene

and i'm not sleeping near the fire

her love's like kerosene
