Lloyd Cole - Forest Fire lyrics

rate me

she crossed herself as she put on her things

she has promised once before not to live this way

if she don't calm down she will burn herself out

like a forest fire, well doesn't that make you smile

if you don't slow down, i swear that i'll come round

and mess up your place, let's go for a spin

they say we shouldn't even know each other

and that we'll be undone

don't it make you smile like a forest fire

i believe in love, i'll believe in anything

that's gonna get me what i want and get me off my knees

then we'll burn your house down, don't it feel so good

there's a forest fire every time we get together

doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo

doo doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo

hey pick you up, put you down

rip you up and spin you round

just like we said we would

'cause we're a forest fire

believe you me, we'll tear this place down

if we get caught in this wind then we could burn the ocean

if we get caught in this scene we're gonna be undone

it's just a simple metaphor, it's for a burning love

don't it make you smile like a forest fire
