Katie Kerosene
Katie digs a hole
With a five-foot pole
And lays in the dirt
Tries to light a match
To burn up all the past
But it doesn't work
Covers up her legs
And pretends she's dead
Just to trick the sun
Lays around for years
Soil soaked with tears
But it never comes
Daddy's lost at sea
Drowned in apathy
And five dollar booze
Mommy keeps her cool
Wipes away her drool
From a midday snooze
Brother Danny's dead
Still he lives in her head
Like a fever dream
She makes the leaves turn red
When she gets in bed
She's Kerosene
With a five-foot pole
And lays in the dirt
Tries to light a match
To burn up all the past
But it doesn't work
Covers up her legs
And pretends she's dead
Just to trick the sun
Lays around for years
Soil soaked with tears
But it never comes
Daddy's lost at sea
Drowned in apathy
And five dollar booze
Mommy keeps her cool
Wipes away her drool
From a midday snooze
Brother Danny's dead
Still he lives in her head
Like a fever dream
She makes the leaves turn red
When she gets in bed
She's Kerosene
