Pouring Petrol On a Burning Man - Paul Kelly

I’ve been pumping on the jack

All my lonely days are stacked

Now I’m heading straight for you

I’ve been working on the wire

I’ve been putting out these fires

Now I’m heading straight for you

Oh my angel

I’m carrying the can

Oh my angel

You’re pouring petrol on a burning man

I’ve been changing dirty oil

Now my rags are really soiled

And I’m heading straight for you

I’ve been laying it too thick

I’ve been cleaning up the slick

Now I’m heading straight for you

Oh my angel

I’m carrying the can

Oh my angel

You’re pouring petrol on a burning man

Every night above my head

Ever night inside my head

I’m heading straight for you

Oh my angel

I’m carrying the can

Oh my angel

You’re pouring petrol on a burning man
