Lyrics Burn-Up - Siouxsie & The Banshees
A
crumpled
future
in
your
fist
The
killing
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
