flower on fire

take me down
sweet sweet rose
shoot your poison up my nose
brown eyed susan when you explode
wrap your thorny fingers around my soul

i want to go deep down to the center of the earth
if i choke i know your honey will quench my thirst
i want to know the secrets of your universe

a blaze of ultraviolet in the smokey sky
and it’s raining may azaleas on the fourth of july
spring fever flash it’s summertime
but it ain’t easy when you’ve got a one track mind

i want to go deep down to the center of the earth
if i choke i know your honey will quench my thirst
i want to know the secrets of your universe

flower on fire
just like the hummingbird
sometimes i see only red
and i want to cross the world for you
flower on fire
you can kill the candlelight
just lead me to your garden party
and I’ll perform tonight for you

hey daisy sniper
you aim for the heart
i’ve got a burning suspicion that mine’s fallen apart.
