Lyrics
Your house is on fire won’t you let me in
Your house is on fire won’t you let me in
I’m drowning in desire
Your hair
Your skin
The flames burn hotter the deeper you go in
Your house is on fire won’t you let me in
Your house is on fire won’t you let me in
I’m drowning in desire
Your hair
Your skin
The flame burns hotter the deeper you go in
1000 miles an hour, how does it feel?
A million horsepower, no steering wheel
Running off the shoulder, asleep on the stage
Exploding cold steel, fire beauty and rage
Your ship is sinking let me climb aboard
Your ship is sinking let me climb aboard
The flames burning hotter, oh my lord
Your ship is sinking let me climb aboard
