If it was easy, it'd be good as done
If I could shanghai my emotions, I'd be the happy one
But, still I'm like an egg on a Sunday morning menu
Poached or fried, my tongue is tied
The flame is high
If it was flexible
I would have bent it 'til it touched itself
If it was seperable
I would isolate 'til there's no one else
But, still I'm like an iron on a silk skirt slowly burning
I'm alone, there's no one home
The flame is high
I'm on fire
I'm burning away
And I only spoke my mind
Cloudy hearts, sunny day
And you, you're like a match
Sticking it to me
Go on, burn on
Everybody's got the teeth
If I were crazy
Instead of proud
If I could whisper to you gently
Instead of thinking aloud
But, still I'm like a dime
Lying face down in the pavement
Stepped upon, I'm almost gone
The flame is high
I'm on fire
I'm burning away
And I only spoke my mind
Cloudy hearts, sunny day
And you, you're like a match
Sticking it to me
Go on, burn on
Na na na etc.
Still, I'm like an iron
Lying face down in the pavement
Tortured moans and innocent groans
The flame is high
I'm on fire
I'm burning away
And I only spoke my mind
Cloudy hearts, sunny day
And you, you're like a match
Sticking it to me
Go on, burn on
Everybody's got the teeth
And they're sticking it to me
