COne Gnight in a Fmotel room
CEyes Gcast like Fsteel
CI drank Gthe wine that they Fleft on my table
CI knew the Gmorning was too Ffar
CI Gsmoked my Flast cigarette
CStay only Gto Fdefy
CThe night was Gdark and the Fland is cold
CI was frozen Gright to the Fbone
FJust like Gfire Cwould, I burn
FJust like Gfire CwouldC  
FJust like Gfire Cwould, I burned up
CFive hundred Gmiles I've Fgone today
CAnd tomorrow's Gfive hundred Fmore
COutside my Gwindow the Fworld passes by
CIt's stranger Gthan a Fdream
FJust like Gfire Cwould, I burn
FJust like Gfire Cwould
FJust like Gfire Cwould, I burned up
