Don’t touch me no more,
cause if you touch me one more time
we’re gonna end up on the floor.
Don’t talk ’bout love no more,
cause if you set this house on fire
you’re gonna be running for the door.
You’ll find yourself in the desert,
the sky is all on fire,
sweet baby devils dancing around
the light of a cactus fire.
Hey baby, you can take me down easy,
but the fire’s got its fingers in you.
Burn baby, like a straw man, baby,
when the fire licks the heart out of you.
Cause it’s true, my grandfather sent me to you.
Burning bush outside your door;
sparks fly through your eyes as they watch
the wine spill on your floor.
You can’t put me out, you know,
Cause every time you try to squash me down
you’re just pushing me closer to the glow.
Smoke me like a pipe,
like a sexy cosmopolitan man,
and now you’re dancing like a grandfather clock,
dancing like a burning man.
Hey baby, you can take me down easy,
but the fire’s got its fingers in you.
Burn baby, like a straw man, baby,
when the fire licks the heart out of you.
Hey Moses you’re a dead man, baby,
but another world is waiting for you.
You’re as dead as a black man, baby,
but I’m gonna light an ember for you.
Cause its true, my grandfather sent me to you.
You want the red sea parted for you?
You want the burning bush talking to you?
You want me making love to you?
Well, that’s fine,
but you ain’t gonna come out alive.
Love baby, it’s a hell-fire, baby,
it’s gonna burn the heart out of you.
This world is the real world, baby,
it can’t play the lady for you.
This fire is a real fire, baby,
it’s gonna lick the heart out of you.
Hey Moses, you’re a dead man, baby,
but another world is waiting for you.
You, I’m gonna light an ember for you.
Yeah you, I’m gonna light an ember for you.
