Burning Out Again A Kind Of Christmas Card lyrics

All you folks back home
I`ll never tell you this
You`re not supposed to know
where your daughter is
There are ways of life
you never understood
it`s right here
downtown Hllywood
it`s afternoon on Sunset Boulevard
i`ve got a stolen moment trying hard
to write a kind of christmas card

but I am burning out again
tonight there is fever in my veins

mama, dear
all the love you gave
i guess there`s really nothing
nothing much to save
this place is as dirty as I feel myself
there are still some riches
at the Roosevelt
that evening prayer
those memories
in my little bedroom, mama, on my knees
that`s where I`m at
down in Los Angeles

And I am burning out again
and I must rise above the shame
tonigh there is fever in my veins

just think of the girl I used to be
you were my age once, mama
twenty-three
i can still hear some of the songs you used to play
from that summer of love in `68
seems it`s turned into a winter of hate

and I am burning out again
