This Girl's On Fire

Came on a hurricane

From a southern town

Some place that had no name

She's fats and furious

And pretty boys on TV sets

Have made her curious

[Chorus]

This girl's on fire

She can't get any higher

Right from the start

She'll break your heart

This girl's on fire

Love is not what she brings

She breathes a passion into me

It colors all my dreams

She says she'll never sleep

Until this city howls and screams

Burns down 'round her feet

[Chorus]

Yeah this girl's on fire

She can't get any higher

She's a passionate child

You know she'll love you wild

This girl's on fire

I wanted to take her home

A thousand summers all my own

But I just let her go

And witches still get burned

And boys get scared at every turn

When will they ever learn that

[Chorus]

This girl's on fire

She can't get any higher

She'll leave you behind

This girl's on fire
