lyrics

Holy Fire

She’s a hustler with a voice like honey,
Her smile in his heart, her eyes on the money.
Her love’s a game, she plays what she’s dealt.
She won’t tip her hand; she goes down to the felt.

These are the people that he meets when he’s living a lie, he’s living a lie.
These are the faces that he greets with his halfhearted smile, his halfhearted smile.

Oh-oh-oh come back to me my dear, reluctant lover.
Let your fear take its leave. We’ve too much more to discover.
Oh-oh-oh come back to me. Let your blue flame burn brighter.
Spread your anger at my feet. Burn it clean, holy fire.

He’s a player with a heart of gold.
Deal the cards now, before he’s out cold.
He likes them young, beautiful and flighty.
Hold ‘em tight, then let go lightly.

These are the people that she meets when she’s living a lie, she’s living a lie.
These are the faces that she greets with her halfhearted smile, her halfhearted smile.

Oh-oh-oh come back to me my dear, reluctant lover.
Let your fear take its leave. We’ve too much more to discover.
Oh-oh-oh come back to me. Let your blue flame burn brighter.
Spread your anger at my feet. Burn it clean, holy fire.

We look for love in hidden places in cringing faces, in tear-stained eyes.
We build it up with wishful stories, with twisted mores, with open lies.

Oh-oh-oh come back to me my dear, reluctant lover.
Let your fear take its leave. We’ve too much more to discover.
Oh-oh-oh come back to me. Let your blue flame burn brighter.
Spread your anger at my feet. Burn it clean, holy fire.
Burn it clean, burn it higher. Burn it clean, holy fire.
