This Girl's On Fire

Came on a hurricane

From a southern town

Some place that had no name

She's fats and furious

And pretty boys on TV sets

Have made her curious

This girl's on fire

She can't get any higher

Right from the start

She'll break your heart

This girl's on fire

Love is not what she brings

She breathes a passion into me

It colors all my dreams

She says she'll never sleep

Until this city howls and screams

Burns down 'round her feet

Yeah this girl's on fire

She can't get any higher

She's a passionate child

You know she'll love you wild

This girl's on fire

I wanted to take her home

A thousand summers all my own

But I just let her go

And witches still get burned

And boys get scared at every turn

When will they ever learn that

This girl's on fire

She can't get any higher

She'll leave you blind

She'll leave you behind

This girl's on fire
