Lyrics
Sally Supersonic sold her skirt to grow a beard
Highest bid on E-Bay got some strings
She played loud, Sally shy Sally proud
When the Flickers came to town
Sally conjured up a supersonic sound
Sally and the Flickers got a record in the charts
Everybody took them to their hearts
They played loud, Blim & Clint & the crowd
Oh but Sally was the star
Man she really nearly took it too far
CHORUS: Flicker to a flame
Into the firelight, burn up the stage
And it's all for raw fame
So wind up the wick and turn a flicker into a flame
Sell out tour of Europe at their peak without a doubt
Sally went from super to burn out
She played hard
Hard to buck the charade
The academy of fame simply burned down in flames
CHORUS
