Oh, since I set my eyes on you
I tell you the truth
T-t-t-twistin’ like a flame in a slow dance, baby
You’re driving me crazy
Come on, little honey, come on now
Fire, yeah smoke on the horizon
Fire, smoke she is a rising
Fire, oh smoke stack lightning, smoke stack lightning
My heart’s a ball of burnin’ flame
Oh, yes it is
Prancing like a cat on a hot tin shack,
Lord, have mercy come on little sister, come on and shake it
Fire, oh smoke on the horizon
Fire, smoke she is a rising
Fire, oh smoke stack lightning baby
I’ll tell you truthfully, well
She’s coming close now
Oh, I can feel her
And I never, yeah
Fire, smoke, she is a rising
Fire, oh smoke on the horizon
Fire smoke, she is a a risin’, risin’, risin’ fire
Smokestack lightnin’
And shake it, baby
Come on and burn it
Say, send down fire to me, say, send down fire to me, yeah
Fire woman, you’re to blame
Fire woman, you’re to blame
Fire woman, you’re to blame
“Fire Woman” is a rock song by British rock band The Cult, written by singer Ian Astbury and guitarist Billy Duffy. It was the first single released from their fourth studio album, Sonic Temple, and was subsequently featured on all of The Cult’s compilation/greatest hits albums, as well as being a steady fixture of the band’s live performances.
“Fire Woman peaked at number two on the US Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart and number 46 on the Billboard Hot 100. It also reached number one on New Zealand’s Recorded Music NZ (then RIANZ) chart and number 15 on the UK Singles Chart. Two remixed versions of the song were released as B-sides or promos—the “LA Rock Mix” and the “NYC Rock Mix”. Astbury claims the eponymous “fire woman” is a universal symbol, along the lines of a primary element.[1]
Crush 40, best known for their contributions to Sega’s Sonic the Hedgehog video game series, featured a cover of “Fire Woman” as the ninth track of their 2009 compilation album The Best of Crush 40 – Super Sonic Songs, and the tenth in their first live album Live!.
