To drive off into the sunset
(setting of the sun, setting of the sun)
By myself
By my lonely
And the sun will explode
(Like a torrent of bombs on Nagasaki)
Will alight with my hair
(black fire, black fire)
To burn
Flammable solution are my tears, my tears are flammable, are flammable, are flammable...
To burn and burn
(Like hell when Adolf Hitler arrived)
I will rise with the flames
Let them lick my toes, then eat me whole
Til I am ash
Til I am ash
Til I am empty
