Velvet Goldmine movie - Baby's on Fire lyrics

rate me

Song by The Venus in Furs<br /><br>

Baby's on fire<br>

Better throw her in the water<br>

Look at her laughing<br>

Like a heifer to the slaughter<br>

<br>

Baby's on fire<br>

And all the laughing boys are bitching<br>

Waiting for photos<br>

Oh the plot is so bewitching<br>

<br>

Rescuers row row<br>

Do your best to change the subject<br>

Blow the wind blow blow<br>

Lend some assistance to the object<br>

<br>

Photographers snip snap<br>

Take your time she's only burning<br>

This kind of experience<br>

Is necessary for her learning<br>

<br>

If you'll be my flotsam<br>

I could be half the man I used to<br>

They said you were hot stuff<br>

And that's what baby's been reduced to<br>

<br>

Juanita and Juan<br>

Very clever with maracas<br>

Making their fortunes<br>

Selling secondhand tobaccoes<br>

<br>

Juan dances at Chico's<br>

And when the clients are evicted<br>

He empties the ashtrays<br>

And pockets all that he's collected<br>

<br>

But baby's on fire<br>

And all the instruments agree that<br>

Her temperature's rising<br>

But any idiot would know that<br>

<br>
