Sonny's Burning

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds · Other Songs - Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

Have you heard how Sonny's burning



Like some bright erotic star?



And He lights up the proceedings



And raises the temperature.



Flame on! Flame on!



Now I've seen to Sonny's burning



Someday I think I'll cut him down



But it can get so cold in here



And he gives off such an evil heat.



Flame on! Flame on!



Hail my incubatic incubator.



Now pay witness to Sonny's burning



Warming the damp and rotten seed



Warming the damp and rotten seed



That blooms into the DEMON FLOWER



Now both fire and flowers consume me.



Flame on! Flame on!



Evil heat is running through me



Flame on! Flame on!



Sonny's burning pits into me



Flame on! Flame on!



Sonny's burning holes into me



Don't interrupt! Don't interrupt!



Flame on! Flame on!
