Light Me On Fire

Burn Baby, Burn!
Like my soul for her.
Burn Baby, Burn!
As if you were saying “burrr.”

Burn Baby, Burn!
Cast a fire unto me.
Burn Baby, Burn!
Let the world see,

Burn Baby, Burn!
Our passion for the heat.
Burn Baby, Burn!
Let the smoke be our mete.

Burn Baby, Burn!
Don’t cross over that line.
Burn Baby, Burn!
Reach for the flames so divine.
