I've been spendin' all my money Started smokin' cigarettes I've been sleepin' with the bottle She's not finished with me yet She's like bad bad whiskey A devil in a feverish dream I'm not going near the fire Her love like kerosene Said she'd meet me in the alleyway Around quarter to twelve Gonna bring me some of those good green leaves We're gonna raise some hell Because like bad bad whiskey A devil in a feverish dream And I'm not sleeping near the fire Her love like kerosene Well I know I'm not a young man And it's time to settle down But all my mind is so messed up Every time she comes around She's like bad bad whiskey A devil in a feverish dream But I'm not sleeping near the fire Her love like kerosene Well, I'm not going near the fire Her love like kerosene Well, I'm not going near the fire Her love, love's like kerosene
