I WANT TO LIVE AGAIN

When you think of the times that were living in
And you think of the minds that have given in
Run like a child
Wild Thing, you gonna break
And you're not gonna say but you know its true
Someone's taken the rug out from under you
Too late, don't wait, holding back a big mistake.

Sixteen candles
We were hard to handle then
You want to live again?

Set an example follow the street signs
You got these people trampled in a straight line
Running out of time
Drinking down the ice-nine
If you were paying attention the time before
You would have ducked the convention
And hit the door
Run like a child
Wild Thing, you want it more?

Sixteen candles
I was hard to handle then
You want to live again?

I need a long distance answer
Might be a lover but I'm not a dancer
Gimme gimme gimme more chance

Now I'm out in the box seat I'm in denial
Time to pull up the white sheet it's been a while
Listen flower child
Grew up 'stead of growing wild

And when you think of the times that you're living in
And you think of the minds that have given in
Run like a child
Wild Thing, it's been a while

Sixteen candles
Set a good example
Vandals to the handles
We were hard to handle then
Want to live again?
(I'm gonna add some baritone,
That's a bear with a just one eye)
I want to live again….

Acffh Morst to Chris LeRoy

Hot Fresh Cracker! Here's a nice recording of the complete Kerosene Hat, as performed in 2011! Camper played all of Key Lime Pie at this show too. This one is from Cambridge, MA, near Boston, the middle of three nights out east.

A LITTLE BIT OF LIGHT

There was a time that I could stop to get a hold of me
There was a time that I could try
There was a time that I could hold on tight to what you mean
Time is a dark and empty sky

Here comes the yellow sun
She's pouring through with blinding light
Here comes the pouring sun…

Light (Just a little bit of light)
Light (With just a little bit of light)

A million miles gone. Someone staring out somewhere
A million miles in your eyes
A million times that I would hold you like you're standing there
Here comes the pouring sun…

Light (Just a little bit of light)
Light (With just a little bit of light)

There was a time that I would stop and get a hold of me
There was a time that I could try
A million miles fade and Time's a dark and empty sky
Here comes the pouring sun…

Light (Just a little bit of light)
Light (With just a little bit of light)
