Putting Out The Flame

I'm out on the run

Chasin the sun

It's goin' down

I'm doin’ my best

To keep my heart in my chest

It's gonna pound

I might not get to you by nightfall

It's gonna be a close call

But you don't need me anyway

It's time to shift the blame

On the move, I just can't stay

I know that it’s a shame

But I'm puttin out the flame



The exit sign

Convinced my mind

I had to stop

Instantly I agreed

And I lowered my speed

The game is up

I’ve been a slave to the interstate

Still I’m always runnin’ late

But they don't need me anyway

I've always been the same

I've got time to kill today

I know that it’s a shame

I'm puttin out the flame

On the roof of my car, layin under the star that sent me here

The moon hangs in the air, teasing her hair, she seems so near

Next to her is where I oughta be, where mankind can't bother me

Morning is starting to glow

But I just don't know

Where to begin

Please don't take offense

But it doesn't make sense

To start again

You expected be to be there

I've proven that I don't care

You don't need me anyway

It's time to shift the blame

My blood is red, this road is grey

I know that it’s a shame

But you don't need me anyway

It's time to shift the blame

There's a few things I could say

But I don’t play that game

I’m putting out the flame
