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'll burn at the stake
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
Know why do 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
Feel the spirit, it invokes me
As I worship her where she laid
There's a faint, hollow moaning
Staring around the room
From the lips of an angel
At the turn of the afternoon

And I'll burn at the stake
My eart in my hands
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 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
