Die Krupps – Fires lyrics

My house is burning to the ground
My heart plays dangerous games
With madness, lust, a bitter taste
I resolve to spread the flames

Hot fire
Deadly fire

Start a fire, let it dance and lick your toes
Your desire, a parade on burning coals

This place is out of control
I need some air

Wait
I don’t wanna let the fires burn anymore
Pray
I don’t wanna let the phantom’s flames, lash at my back door
Wait
I don’t wanna let the fires burn anymore
Pray
I don’t wanna be a beacon for, ill and scathed whores

She always comes at the time
I’m most in need
Endlessly twerking and full of disease
I’m not a man who would ever hurt a fly
But she turns me into a byproduct

And I need an escape, and I need a release
The fire circles flames inside of me
By now you’d think I had extinguishers ready
But the fires so hot and I’m so damned heady

Wait
I don’t wanna let the fires burn anymore
Pray
I don’t wanna let the phantom’s flames, lash at my back door
Wait
I don’t wanna let the fires burn anymore
Pray
I don’t wanna be a beacon for, ill and scathed whores

We’ll rescue all the spores
We’ll hose down all the beds
We’ll start to build again
We will rebuild the trust
