Burning Velvet

(yeah) Flicker of the match-head,

watching it burn

Waiting in the shadows,

waiting my turn

I can feel the fever

crawling up my skin

Open up the window,

let the storm come in

Temperature is rising,

static in the air

Pull me into focus,

take me anywhere (oh-oh-oh)

I want the fire,

I want the heat

Put your hands on the wild drum beat

No more games, no more delay

Take the leash off,

let me have my way

(gimme what I want)

Fingertips like lightning tracing down my spine

Drawing out the border

where your breath meets mine

Every muscle aching, target in my sight

We are going

all the way tonight

Temperature is rising,

static in the air

Pull me into focus,

take me anywhere

(oh-oh-oh) I want the fire,

I want the heat

Put your hands on the wild drum beat

No more games, no more delay

Take the leash off,

let me have my way

(gimme what I want)

Slow...

down...

let it simmer low (ahhhh)

Just before the powder keg begins to blow

I want the fire,

I want the heat!

(give it to me!) Put your hands on the wild drum beat!

Take the leash off!

Let me have my way! (hahaha!)
