She only wanted to feel alive inside

Three years of dyin' left her less than satisfied

Her daddy told her "girl get out while you're young

Do like your daddy says and not like your daddy done"

If she don't burn out then i guess she'll fade away

Hand of the devil don't tread on me

Don't run away with my amphetamine girl

Hand of the devil i'm comin' clean

Just don't run away with my amphetamine girl

She met the coolest junkie boy and paid his rent

He looked like jesus smokin' white trash cigarette

He said "now trust me love you can't get hooked on this"

Now they don't sleep at night there's somethin' they might miss

If she don't burn out then i guess she'll fade away
