Burning

At night, it enchants me
Thoughts of her silky skin
There's a light, there's a touch
Where she ends and where I'll begin
I'll be damned in the morning
At least that is what they say
I'm a sinner, yes, a prisoner
To the kiss of a burning flame

I learn endlessly
My heart in my hands
The venomous snake
Wrapped in the curve of my waist
I'd do it again, just give me a taste
Oh, why do I feel this way?
Oh, just the thought of the liquor
The fire could kill me, but anyway
I'll take all of your shame

Baby, take me higher
Soak me in desire
Won't you light my fire?
Make sure you keep me burnin'
So I know for certain
You were always worth it in the end

By the light of the morning
I bow my head tô pray
Feel the spirit, it invokes me
As I worship where she lays
There's a ghost, hallelujah
Swirling around the room
From the glimpse of an angel
At the turn of the afternoon

And I'll burn at the stake
Heart in my hands
The venomous snake
She keeps me in this way
And I'd do it again, just give me a taste
No, why do I feel this way?
Oh, just the thought of the liquor
The fire could kill me, but anyway
I'll take all of your shame

Take me higher
Soak me in desire
Won't you light my fire?
Make sure you keep me burnin'
So I know for certain
You were always worth it in the end
