Like a steady beat, I can feel something is shaking
Youd like to sink your teeth into me, but youre not so courageous
The shot I heard was a forty-five, ringing out in the town tonight

I got your cold fingers wrapped in mine.

Come on and Light It Up, she said.

Burn it to the ground. And like a pack of thieves, I will steal
Your golden crown. And then Ill Light It Up


Now, I can feel the heat.
I agree, that the moneys making her wanna come to me
Yeah, cause she aint got no soul for saving.


Youll cut a man with a razor knife, said a fortune-teller with the evil-eye
I dont give a damn. Its time to fight.


Come on and Light It Up, she said.
Burn it to the ground. And like a pack of thieves, I will steal

Your golden crown. And then Ill Light It Up.
You know Im a no good liar.
And when its time to feast, I will drink like a man on fire.

And then Ill Light it Up.

Now, if youre telling me your secrets, then beg of me no violence

You make it hard to breathe
When you tease me with this false engagement.
The shot I heard was a forty-five, ringing out in the town tonight

I got your cold fingers wrapped in mine
Im gonna make it before I die


Come on and Light It Up, she said.
Burn it to the ground. And like a pack of thieves, I will steal
Your golden crown. And then Ill Light It Up

You know Im a no good liar.
And when it's time to feast, I will drink like a man on fire.
