Elliott Smith - Roman Candle Lyrics

Elliott Smith Lyrics

"Roman Candle"

He played himself
Didn't need me to give him hell
He could be cool or cruel to you and me
Knew we'd put up with anything

I want to hurt him
I want to give him pain
I'm a roman candle
My head is full of flames

I'm hallucinating, hallucinating
I hear you cry
Your tears are cheap
Wet hot red swollen cheeks
Fall asleep

I want to hurt him
I want to give him pain
I'm a roman candle
My head is full of flames

I want to hurt him
I want to hurt him
I want to hurt him
I want to give him pain

And make him feel this pretty burn
