Text: Lloyd Cole. Forest Fire.
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
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
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
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
