Burning

At night, it enchants me

Thoughts of her silky skin

There's a light, there's a touch

Where she ends and where I'll begin

I'll be damned in the morning

At least that is what they say

I'm a sinner, yes, a prisoner

To the kiss of a burning flame

I learn endlessly

My heart in my hands

The venomous snake

Wrapped in the curve of my waist

I'd do it again, just give me a taste

Oh, why do I feel this way?

Oh, just the thought of the liquor

The fire could kill me, but anyway

I'll take all of your shame

Baby, take me higher

Soak me in desire

Won't you light my fire?

Make sure you keep me burnin'

So I know for certain

You were always worth it in the end

By the light of the morning

I bow my head tô pray

Feel the spirit, it invokes me

As I worship where she lays

There's a ghost, hallelujah

Swirling around the room

From the glimpse of an angel

At the turn of the afternoon

And I'll burn at the stake

Heart in my hands

The venomous snake

She keeps me in this way

And I'd do it again, just give me a taste

No, why do I feel this way?

Oh, just the thought of the liquor

The fire could kill me, but anyway

I'll take all of your shame

Take me higher

Soak me in desire

Won't you light my fire?

Make sure you keep me burnin'

So I know for certain

You were always worth it in the end
