Lyrics Burn Flicker Die - American Aquarium

Dollar bill prescriptions in the bathroom stall
Red headed women and alcohol
Say it ain't so, say it ain't last call
A whiskey on the rocks and Adderall
A whiskey on the rocks and Adderall
We're no different from the neon lights
When you turn us on we stay up all night
We do what we can
We put up a fight
When we burn too long we flicker and die
Its night like these that the drugs don't work
They just get in the way instead of pickin' me up
I wish my addictions didn't mean so much
But we all can't be born with that kind of luck
You can try but you won't fix what's wrong with me.
Every night I'm my own worst enemey.
I'll find a way to quit when they bury me
Cause I can't turn down the drinks when they're free
No you can't turn down the drinks when they're free
We're no different from the neon lights
When you turn us on we stay up all night
We do what we can
We put up a fight
When we burn to long, we flicker and die
Every girl in that bar looked like 1965
With her sailor tattoos and her drawn out eyes
Every now and then she still crosses my mind
And by every now and then I mean most of the time
By every now and then I mean all of the time
We're no different from the neon lights
When you turn us on we stay up all night
We do what we can
We put up a fight
When we burn too long we flicker and die
We're no differet from the neon lights
When you turn us on we stay up all night
We do what we can
We put up a fight
When we burn too long we flicker and die
We burn too long. We flicker and die.
(Repeat several times)
