Flesh on fire lyrics

She sat so quietly there in the candlelight.

And every strand of her hair was so beautiful.

I can't believe she was only a dream tonight.

I can't believe I won't see her again.

Wishing she'd return

Feeling like I'm burning up, my flesh is on fire.

I search the clubs, the cafes

And the boulevard.

But every blonde on display is a neon doll.

They're all so flashy and trashy

And try too hard.

I can't believe you were only a dream

Baby please return

Don't you know I'm burning up,

My flesh is on fire.

I'm desperate now

I don't know how to find you.

There's someone new who's hiding you.

I wish I knew where that could be.

I'm knocking down each door

In town to find you.

I see your face in empty space

Oh no! This can't happen to me.

What started out as a dream

Is a nightmare now

And when it scares me I scream

And no sound comes out.

It must be blood cos' this isn't just

Sweat on my brow.

I've got to believe you'll turn out to be real.

Promise you'll return.

Can't you see I'm burning up, my flesh is on fire.

Yeeeaahhhhh!
