Burn. Flicker. Die
American Aquarium

Dollar bill prescriptions in a bathroom stall

Red headed women and alcohol

Say it ain't so, say it ain't last call

A whiskey on the rocks and adderall

A whiskey on the rock and adderal


We’re no different than the neon lights

When you turn us on we stay up all night

We do what we can, we put up a fight

Then we burn too long and we flicker and die


It’s nights like these that the drugs don't work

It's getting in the way instead of pickin me up

I wish my addictions didn't mean so much

But we all can't be born with that kind of luck


You can try but you won't fix what’s wrong with me

Every night I’m my own worst enemy

I'll find a way to quit when they bury me

Cause I can't turn down the drinks when they're free

They can't turn down when the drinks are for free



We’re no different than the neon lights

When you turn us on we stay up all night

We do what we can, we put up a fight

Then we burn too long and we flicker and die


Every girl in that bar looked like 1965

With her sailor tattoos and her drawn out eyes

Every now then she still crosses my mind

And by every now and then I mean most of the time

By every now and then I mean all of the time



We’re no different than the neon lights

When you turn us on we stay up all night

We do what we can, we put up a fight

Then we burn too long and we flicker and die


We burn too long we flicker and die (12x)
