Fragile Flame - MTV Unplugged
"I wrote it for a friend of mine back in Alaska."
Fat boy goes to the pool
Sees his reflection, doesn't know what to do
He feels little inside
And filled with pride
Oh, fragile flame
No one feels the same
Fat boy goes about his day
Trying to think of funny things to say
Like "this is just a game I play"
And "I like me this way"
Oh, fragile flame
No one sees the same
Hush, sleep
Don't think, just eat
You're daddy's little boy
You're mama's pride and joy
You know she loves ya
But not because she holds ya
Fat boy says, "Wouldn't it be nice
If I could melt myself like ice
Or outrun my skin and be pure wind"
Oh, fragile flame
Sometimes I feel the same
