Sex On Fire
Kings of Leon · Only By The Night [2008]
Lay where you're laying
Don't make a sound
I know they're watching
They're watching
All the commotion
"The kiddie-like play"
Has people talking
Talking
You
Your sex is on fire
Dark of the alley
The breaking of day
Head while I'm driving
I'm driving
Soft lips are open
Them knuckles are pale
Feels like you're dying
You're dying
You
Your sex is on fire
Consumed, with what's to transpire
Hot as a fever
Rattling bones
I could just taste it
Taste it
If it's not forever
If it's just tonight
Oh we're still the greatest
The greatest
The greatest
You
Your sex is on fire
You
Your sex is on fire
Consumed, with what's to transpire
And you
Your sex is on fire
Consumed, with what's to transpire.
Don't make a sound
I know they're watching
They're watching
All the commotion
"The kiddie-like play"
Has people talking
Talking
You
Your sex is on fire
Dark of the alley
The breaking of day
Head while I'm driving
I'm driving
Soft lips are open
Them knuckles are pale
Feels like you're dying
You're dying
You
Your sex is on fire
Consumed, with what's to transpire
Hot as a fever
Rattling bones
I could just taste it
Taste it
If it's not forever
If it's just tonight
Oh we're still the greatest
The greatest
The greatest
You
Your sex is on fire
You
Your sex is on fire
Consumed, with what's to transpire
And you
Your sex is on fire
Consumed, with what's to transpire.
