His Lamest Flame

The knees are bent and the hands are clasped
 The painted head is bowed
 A sudden glimpse through heaven's gate
 Is all that I'm allowed
 My hair is black and eyes are green
 But Marie is not my name
 Na na na na na na na na na - His Lamest Flame
 His lamest flame will be
 Too brief and burn too pale
 And all attempts to fire it up again will fail
 I run around behind his friends
 And play the waiting game
 Na na na na na na na na na - His Lamest Flame
 I tell myself a million times
 There's nothing I can do
 So why do I keep holding on
 I only wish I knew
 I was born too weak and I feel like a fool
 But it's out of my domain
 Na na na na na na na na na - His Lamest Flame
 His lamest flame will die
 Before the night is out
 Just a heap of ash
 The wind is blown about
 For him these feelings fade away
 But for me they're still the same
 Na na na na na na na na na - His Lamest Flame
 His lamest flame is here
 And flickering its last
 And through the dying light
 We journey to the past
 But still I'd give up all I've got
 To have him back again
 Na na na na na na na na na - His Lamest Flame
