Roman Candle

Elliott Smith · Roman Candle [1994]

He played himself

Didn't need me to give him hell

He could be cool and cruel to you and me

Knew we'd put up with anything



I wanna 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 wanna hurt him

I want to give him pain

I'm a Roman candle

My head is full of flames



I wanna hurt him

I wanna hurt him

I wanna hurt him

I want to give him pain



Make him feel this pretty burn
