Siouxsie And The Banshees - Burn-Up lyrics

A crumpled future in your fist The k**ing streak ascends sun-kissed And the firestarter from within Pokes out from fever blistered grin King Salamander -- that's his name A desert maker -- that's his aim The benign cremator, branding iron in his hand Eager and willing to torch the land All fire and brimstone This jack-o-lantern He likes to watch the buildings burn His ardour smoulders -- phosphorous flies He radiates with urgence to hypnotize Stoke the furnace -- feed his need This thirst for fire is all he sees He's the blazing rubber making tracks The blue touch paper at your back All fire and brimstone This salamander king He basks whilst all around him burns 'Giddy-up, burn-up, not fade away' These words ignite and pave his way 'Giddy-up, burn-up, stoke it up and turn it up' He sings these words in fervid frame All fire and brimstone This jack-o-lantern He likes to watch the pyres burn Jack be nimble -- jack be quick Jack jump over the candlestick
