FLAME ON, FAMOUS FLAME


WORDS & MUSIC: HANK “HOLY ROLLER” RAY

I met you at a party in the palace of the blues
The stereo was blasting my favorite Thunders tune
“Forget about your troubles,” I heard your soft voice from
Where you’re standing somewhere at the dark side of the room
Flame on, famous flame, flame on
Flame on, famous flame, flame on

 

You smiled but you could not conceal the sadness in your eyes
You spoke of a place where happiness someday you’d hope to find
We sat there in a corner shared two bottles of red wine
You were so young and beautiful but, oh so hurt inside
Flame on, famous flame, flame on
Flame on, famous flame, flame on

 

When the party’s over I was eloquently talking from the floor
Forever is a long, long time once you’re dead and gone
I saw the desert in your eyes, felt the fire in your veins
A solitary rider on a lonesome down bound train
Flame on, famous flame, flame on
Flame on, famous flame, flame on
Flame on - flame on - flame on….
