Roky Erickson - Burn The Flames lyrics

Here I sit

A vampire at my piano

The flames burn glaringly higher

And the eyes that stare through the darkness

Though they have no form

There's no need for alarm



So burn, so burn, burn the flames

Higher and higher

So burn, burn the flames, never to expire



Here I sit

A skeleton at my organ

The candles in my candelabra

Burn hellishly hellish hell

And the laughter unending echoes

Through the haunted house

A little Christmas spirit ghostly haunting deadly spirit

Every creature is stirring

Even a mouse



So burn, so burn, burn the flames

Higher, higher, higher and higher

So burn, burn the flames, never to expire



So burn, so burn, burn the flames

Higher, higher, higher and higher

So burn, burn the flames, never to expire



Here I sit myself at my instruments

Here they sit at their instruments

And the music fills and fills, terrifies, horrifies, forever scares

The children of the night

What music we make



So burn, so burn, burn the flames

Higher and higher

So burn, burn the flames, never to expire
