Lyrics
White Heat
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She's just a working girl from Baltimore
She'll choose you, she's been there, she's been there and back again
It's in and out, it's up, it's down, it's a mercenary
And you get what you need when you walk on the streets of paradise
Invoke in the streets, indecision - yeah yeah yeah, white heat in fashion
She'll take you home, she'll take you where you wanna get back to
You're sweet sixteen, but you will be a man tonight
It's to the wall, it's to the floor, she's in a hurry
But you get what you pay for when you live on the streets of paradise
In heat, invoke, impassioned - yeah yeah yeah, white heat in fashion
Hard cash, indiscrete, wild passion - in heat, invoke, in fashion
White heat, cold passion, 8th Avenue, indecision
In heat, on the street, in fashion - invoke in style
White heat, cool looks, hard cash, on the street
Invoke in style, indiscretion, in trains, in bars, in heat
White heat, invoke in fashion, hard cash, indiscrete, wild passion
White heat in fashion, white heat in fashion
White heat in fashion, white heat, indiscrete, ignition
