Artist/Band: Midnight Oil
Lyrics for Song: Naked Flame
Lyrics for Album: Head Injuries [1979]



"This is a mad house," she goes straight for the palm


"You'll be luck to make it till Tuesday"





I say "You must be joking, the idea's absurd"


But the picture's hanging on her every word


But she comes right back, her black velvet cat


Has gone smiled all over the carpet


He says "I know my rights, I've got nothing to say"


But he cried all night on the night 'n' day





I've seen the naked flame


And I'm turning my eyes away





"Yes it's a mad house," the minister shouts


But his words drown out in the crowd


He says "I open my mouth and some idiot speaks"


So he strikes the service for another two weeks


Then the party's over, it's a free-for-all


I'm under the table, I got my foot in the door


Well she's a natural leader, and she's bound to win


She's just waiting for the burning to begin





I've seen the naked flame


It's gonna burn me again


I'm dying down in the rain


And I'm turning my eyes away





(Rotsey/Hirst/Moginie)
