"Malachi Richter's Liquor's Quicker" lyrics

My actions should be self-explanatory
And since in our self-obsessed culture, words seldom match the deed
Writing a mission statement would seem questionable
So judge me by my actions
Maybe some will be scared enough to wake from their walking dream state

Well I'm happy to report
My long standing last resort
Ended by just stopping short
Of me burning like a torch
Step off, stand back
'Cause it's a fact I've got to match
And all my fingers crossed behind my back

Give me some breathing room
'Cause I'm breathin' fumes, I'll light the fuse
Give me some breathing room
'Cause there's somethin' that I need to prove
Give me some breathing room
'Cause I'm breathin' fumes, I'll light the fuse
And I'm gonna make the evening news

Well I'm busy making plans
With a flare gun in my hand
Kerosene soaked through my pants
The last words of my last stand
Step up, step back
'Cause it's a fact I've gotta match
And all my fingers crossed behind my back

Give me some breathing room
'Cause I'm breathin' fumes, I'll light the fuse
Give me some breathing room
'Cause there's somethin' that I need to prove
Give me some breathing room
'Cause I'm breathin' fumes, I'll light the fuse
And I'm gonna make the evening news

And I'm gonna make the evening news

Give me some breathing room
'Cause I'm breathin' fumes, I'll light the fuse
Give me some breathing room
'Cause there's somethin' that I need to prove
Give me some breathing room
'Cause I'm breathin' fumes I'll light the fuse
Give me some breathing room
I'm on fire, it's all ending soon
And I'm gonna make the evening news

Yeah I'm gonna make the evening news
Yeah I'm gonna make the evening news
