Lyrics
[verse]
Light is flickering low, but I ain't ready to sleep,
Got a fire in my bones that I mean to keep,
Turn the music up loud, let the trumpets blow,
I'm burning bright tonight and I won't go slow.
[chorus]
Burn that candle, burn it at both ends,
Light the whole town up till the night's end,
Burn that candle, let it shine so bold,
I'm gonna burn it down before I turn old.
[verse]
The horns are screaming high, the beat won't quit,
Every step I take is another spark lit,
Don't tell me to slow down, don't tell me to wait,
I'm burning up the hours before it gets late.
[chorus]
Burn that candle, burn it at both ends,
Light the whole town up till the night's end,
Burn that candle, let it shine so bold,
I'm gonna burn it down before I turn old.
[bridge]
When the wax runs out and the flame turns blue,
I'll still be dancing, still be coming through,
There's no candle bright enough to hold this crowd,
We're burning up the night and we're burning loud.
[chorus]
Burn that candle, burn it at both ends,
Light the whole town up till the night's end,
Burn that candle, let it shine so bold,
I'm gonna burn it down before I turn old.
