Fire Bomb

Rihanna · Rated R [2009]

Yeah

Whoa

Gunfire left a hole

In the tank

Losing gasoline



Fire is on my trail

And he's after me

Hope it dont get here

Before I get where Im going

I gotta get where Im going

Take off my mask to breath



You could've been apart of a masterpiece

Fluid in the breaks was the last to leak



That's the thing, where I'm going

I don't need my breaks (breaks)

Cant wait to see your face

When your front windows break

And I come crashing through



The lovers need to clear the road

Oh, oh, oh

Cause this thing is ready to blow

Oh, oh, oh



I just wanna set you on fire

So I wont have to burn alone

Then you, then you'll know where

I'm coming from

Fire bomb, fire bomb



Seems cold

But then you know,

Doesn't have to be

Microwaving a metal tragedy

Watching it burning

Its beautiful and its blue

And its pitiful

and it's blue

It's the other half of me



I didn't do it

You lit the match for me

Now were flying

From the blast, baby

That's the thing



Where were going

We don't need no breaks (breaks)

Can't wait to see your face

When your front windows break

And I come crashing through



The lovers need to clear the road

Oh, oh, oh

Cause this thing is ready to blow

Oh, oh, oh



I just wanna set you on fire

So I wont have to burn alone

Then you, then you'll know where

I'm coming from

Fire bomb, fire bomb



Baby we were killing 'em

They couldn't handle the millionth degree

We were criminals (yeah)

As we were burning

Call the police

Fire department, ambulance

You call me crazy cause I believe (yeah)

The only move for me and you

Is to go out blazin'

And



The lovers need to clear the road (oh)

Oh, oh, oh

Cause this thing is ready to blow (oh oh ohh)

Oh, oh, oh (oh)



I just wanna set you on fire

So I wont have to burn alone (oh)

Then you (oh)

Then you'll know where (oh)

I'm coming from (oh, no)

Fire bomb

Oh, oh, oh

Fire bomb
