The Occasional Flicker
No, I don't want sympathy, no
Somewhere for these sins to go
Compromise is the devil talking and he spoke to me
He mentioned something of moving in
Oh, I conversed once with him and yes, he related to me
How necessity is evil's mother
Has no father
Only victims weak or strong
I hope this won't take long, it won't take long, long
I was right the first time
I was right the first time
I was right the first time
I'll put it right with thirst now
Well, you might say I'm trying to redeem myself and in a way I think this is true
I'm just trying to chew off more than those that bite more than I do
You could, you could say that I'm a bitter man
I would agree, I think this is true
I will remain so until I know more than those that know more than I do
Kind of reminds me of that burning feeling I used to get (Yeah?)
Kind of reminds me, it's the same kind of feeling (Um, whats the?)
You know, that little problem I used to get (What little problem?)
You know the problem
Are you still getting trouble with that?
Yeah, not all the time or anything
Like it was?
Yeah, sometimes
Are you sure it's not heartburn?
Heartburn? No, it's not a bit like heartburn, it's nothing like that
Listen-li
You know that problem, the one I used to get (Oh, yeah)
Well, I still get troubled
Some things I won't forget
Nothing big, nothing important, just a little incident about a burning
It's just a little matter of a burning
It's not arson, it's not arson
Nothing to get excited about
It's my own problem I'll deal with it in my own time, alright?
My burning, oh my burning
Oh my burning, my burning
Oh my burning, oh my burning
Oh my burning, oh my burning
It's like I said, it's my problem I'll deal with it myself (Alright)
Alright
Oh, my problem
Somewhere for these sins to go
Compromise is the devil talking and he spoke to me
He mentioned something of moving in
Oh, I conversed once with him and yes, he related to me
How necessity is evil's mother
Has no father
Only victims weak or strong
I hope this won't take long, it won't take long, long
I was right the first time
I was right the first time
I was right the first time
I'll put it right with thirst now
Well, you might say I'm trying to redeem myself and in a way I think this is true
