Burning

In the night, it enchants me, thoughts of her silky skin
There's a lightness of 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 burnin' flame

I'll burn at the stake
My heart in my hand, a venomous snake
Wrapped in the curve of my waist
I'd do it again, just give me a taste
Know why I feel this way
But oh, just the thought of the liquor
The fire could cure me of anything
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
We were always worth it in the end

By the light of the morning, I bow my head to pray
I feel the spirit, it invokes me as I worship her where she laid
There's a faint, hollowed moanin' stirring around the room
From the lips of an angel at the turn of the afternoon

And I'll burn at the stake
My heart in my hand, the kiss of a snake
She keeps me in this state
And I'd do it again, just give me a taste
Know why I feel this way
Oh, just the thought of the liquor
The fire could cure me of anything
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
We were always worth it in the end

(Oh, ooh-oh)
(Ooh, ooh-oh-oh)
(Ooh, ooh-oh, ooh-oh, ooh-oh, ooh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
Baby, take me (ooh-oh)
T-t-t-t-take me (ooh, ooh-oh-oh)
Take, take, take me higher, higher (ooh, ooh-oh, ooh-oh, ooh-oh)
(Ooh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh) hi-hi-hi-hi-hi-hi-hi-hi

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

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
We were always worth it in the end
