i dont know how or where i heard this but i thought it was really cool: its better to burn out than fade away or something along those lines anyway can someone tell me who said it thankies!
can't answer your question but this is similar, don't you think?
I burnt the candle at both ends,
it will not last the night,
but oh my foes and ah my friends
it gives a lovely light!
I seem to recall that some murderer put this on his Christmas card .........or does anyone know different?
