(Seth Justman) - 1981 |
|
All day long she holds it back |
|
Back with all her might |
|
She carries a burnin' torch inside |
|
She holds it firm and tight |
|
She punches out the clock |
|
While it keeps punchin' out her life |
|
She's a flamethrower, red-hot glower |
|
Flamethrower at night |
|
The things she wears to work |
|
They hang off her kinda loose |
|
Her blouse don't fit, the pants ain't right |
|
She ain't no front page news |
|
But when her work is done |
|
And the daytime turns to night |
|
The headlines flash in neon |
|
That the girl has taken flight |
|
Chairman of the board |
|
Won't look her in the eye |
|
The fire of her vision |
|
His money just can't buy |
|
Silently she waits |
|
Silently she contemplates |
|
She can make 'em tremble |
|
You know the reason why |
|
[Chorus] |
|
She's a flame - flamethrower |
|
She's a flamethrower at night |
|
She's a flame - a red-hot glower |
|
She's a flamethrower at night |
|
You might think you're burnin' |
|
All your candles at both ends |
|
Maybe you should go to church |
|
To make up some amends |
|
But if you think you're fireproof |
|
So cool and much too much |
|
Don't dare go near my baby |
|
'Cause she'll melt you with her touch |
|
I forget the darkness |
|
I forget the pain |
|
When she's movin' through my heart |
|
And when she's pumpin' through my veins |
|
She's the part inside me |
|
I never can control |
|
And she's the only reason |
|
I know I've got a soul |
|
[Chorus] |
