A song about dizzying, mind-blurring, bad-decision making, lust.
lyrics
Light a Fire
Watch it burn
Do you learn from your desire?
I'm on fire
Watch me burn
I'm on fire, I'm on fire, I'm on fire
Oh I prob'ly shoulda listened to your warnings, friend
You said, "you've seen this one coming, you know how it ends."
Oh but sister said, "Girl, just take what you get...
'Cause we all know how hard it is to have our needs met."
Light a Fire
Watch it burn
Do you learn from your desire?
I'm on fire
Watch me burn
I'm on fire, I'm on fire, I'm on fire
I was high as a kite from the bad city air
My appetite was weak and you had beautiful hair
You made me feel so pretty but uglier still
Than the look you give yourself when you're paying the bill
Oh the look you give yourself when you're paying
Light a Fire
Watch it burn
Do you learn from your desire?
I'm on fire
Watch me burn
I'm on fire, I'm on fire, I'm on fire
Light a fire
Watch it burn
Do you learn
I'm on fire
Watch me burn
I'm on fire, I'm on fire, I'm on fire
I'm on fire, I'm on fire, I'm on fire
Light a fire
watch it burn
I'm on fire, I'm on fire, I'm on fire

Burton’s career started in 2006 with a broken heart, a broken down van, and a haphazard tour across Canada in a van named
Lucky. This set the tone for an artist life driven by adventure, spontaneity, and a desire to connect with people from all walks of life....more
Ethereal vocal harmonies over churning guitars and drums. When it descends into Gothic horror or the violin shines through the darkness, you're in for a real treat. Thanks for putting on such a kickass show in Rochester NY! Brett Arnold
Erudite chamber pop that hearkens back to the elegant and experimental production of the 1960s, swinging from melancholia to playfulness. Bandcamp New & Notable May 13, 2016
