Siouxsie And The Banshees lyrics : "Burn-up"

A crumpled future in your fist
The killing streak ascends sun kissed
And the firestarter from within

Pokes out from fever blistered grin
King Salamander that's his name
A desert maker that's his aim

The benign cremator, branding iron in his hand
Eager and willing to torch the land


All fire and brimstone
This jack-o-lantern
He likes to watch the buildings burn


His ardour smoulders, phosphorous flies
He radiates with urgence to hypnotise

Stoke the furnace, feed his need
This thirst for fire is all he seeks
He's the blazing rubber making tracks

The blue touch paper at your back

All fire and brimstone

This salamander king
He basks while all around him burns


`Giddy-up, burn-up, not fade away'
These words ignite and pave his way
`Giddy-up, burn-up, stoke it up and turn it up'

He sings these words in fervid frame

All fire and brimstone

This jack-o-lantern
He likes to watch the pyres burn


Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
Jack jump over the candlestick
