Siouxie And The Banshees - Burn-up Lyrics
A crumpled future in your fistThe killing streak ascends sun kissedAnd the firestarter from withinPokes out from fever blistered grinKing salamander thats his nameA desert maker thats his aimThe benign cremator, branding iron in his handEager and willing to torch the landAll fire and brimstoneThis jack-o-lanternHe likes to watch the buildings burnHis ardour smoulders, phosphorous fliesHe radiates with urgence to hypnotiseStoke the furnace, feed his needThis thirst for fire is all he seeksHes the blazing rubber making tracksThe blue touch paper at your backAll fire and brimstoneThis salamander kingHe basks while all around him burns`giddy-up, burn-up, not fade awayThese words ignite and pave his way`giddy-up, burn-up, stoke it up and turn it upHe sings these words in fervid frameAll fire and brimstoneThis jack-o-lanternHe likes to watch the pyres burnJack be nimble, jack be quickJack jump over the candlestick
