Burned Out In A Jar

Polar Bear Club


At midnight my house is ablaze 
I feel the heat on my hands and face 
In the background of the pictures, my fingers in the fixture 
It's time to stop running and race 

Damn it all, I am just sad 
Everything's staying as fucked up 
Because all that I used to have 
Burned out in jar like a lightning bug 
"Home" is a tight-wire show 
Lucky for me my feet don't grow 

Damn it all, I am just sad 
Everything's staying as fucked up 
Because all that I used to have 
Burned out in jar like a lightning bug 

I live with hyenas who take me back eons 
When we used to stay up and see the sun, say hello 
I miss the times in streets where we never got tired 
Laying down in the grass by the empty camp fire 
Like spies on the roof as we'd watch stars expire 
But the image is a million years old 

Damn it all, I am just sad 
Everything's staying as fucked up 
Because all that I used to have 
Burned out in jar like a lightning bug
