Lloyd Cole - Forest Fire lyrics

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
