Taken from the 1995 album Sparkle and Fade

Lyrics:

We have been sleeping with the lights on

Just about every night

Because we are afraid of what the dark might bring

I know, I know it's just a childish fear

That grows and grows wild in the middle of me

I'm gonna get a new tattoo

Black and stretching around my arm

Like a life that is visible and real

I know, I know it's stupid and immature

I just want to give shape to the face

That twists inside both you and me

Breathing fire -- doesn't look good on a resume

Neither does anything else we do

We got to get ready for the real world

Yeah yeah we got to grow up

You know I like to die for awhile

Everyday in the afternoon

I like to let the arms of a bar

Wrap around me tight

I'm just going to sprawl in the front booth

Big drink above my head

Cross eyed and smiling as I watch the world

Go twisting by

I don't want to die with you

Or live in the same dark room

I don't want to see your bloodshot eyes no more, no more

I just want to take this girl -- all curls and big brown eyes

Man I can't take the pain of wanting her, needing her

I know the secret of your soul

And I just don't want to know --

Yeah, man we got to grow up

Quite simply the greatest song by the greatest band to ever come out of Portland (sorry... er... Quarterflash!). Always saw these guys as Nirvana's heir-apparent (though Puddle of Mudd actually sounded more like them, albeit with less talent than either band). Love how this puppy gradually builds in intensity 'til about the 2:00 mark only to stay at the same high plateau until the end (echoing SB's comment below). Memorable night seeing these guys rock The Moore in Seatown! Thanks for posting!

I don't know why I'm listening to this on YouTube. I have all of my Everclear on every single electronic device I own. I guess it's just that good haha.

In order to feel satisfied. I sometimes will unlike it at the beginning of the song. THEN at the end I can say "hey that song is awesome!" and like it again. haha

This song, this band reminds me of my addict and my addictive days. Some days I listen to this and I long for it, like nothing else. Especially this song. I think how great it would be to trade it all in for one more time, one more go round. Right now. Right. Fcking. Now. I think...how great those days were. To be lost in that addiction. To be wrapped in its warm arms. Sure those arms suffocated me, but hey, they sure felt good. Regardless great song. Great band. Thanks for posting this.

I have days, like today, when i'm wishing for that ability. Otherwise, one sure way to feel like you're about to breathe fire is to take a room-temperature shot of Seagrams 7. That's a mistake you don't make twice.
