Fire Woman Lyrics

Shake shake shake shake it. yeah...
Wound up, can't sleep, can't do anything right, little honey,
Oh, since I set my eyes on you.
I tell ya the truth.
Twistin' like a flame in a slow dance, baby,
You're driving me crazy.
Come on, little honey, come on now!

Fire! Smoke, she is a rising!
Fire! Smoke on the horizon!
Fire! Smoke, she is a rising!
Fire! Smoke stack lightning!
Smoke stack lightning.

Well now...You shake it up, you're to blame, got me swayin' little honey.
My heart's a ball of burnin' flame.
Oh, yes it is.
Trancing like a cat on a hot tin shack,
Lord, have mercy! Come on little sister, come on and shake it!

Fire! Smoke, she is a rising!
Fire! Smoke on the horizon! Yeah.
Fire! Smoke, she is a rising!
Fire! Smoke stack lightning! Lightning!

I was thinkin what I've been missin.
I'll tell you truthfully, well.
She's comin close now.
I can feel her.
She's getting close to me.

Fire! Smoke, she is a rising!
Fire! Smoke on the horizon!
Fire! Smoke, she is a risin risin rising!
Fire! Smoke stack lightning!

Fire..shake it baby..

Fire woman you're to blame
Fire woman you're to blame

My favorite song by The Cult. "twisting like a flame in a slow dance"Twisting like flame, a flame kind of moves around and is usually a bit wild. The woman is abit wild. In a slow dance she is the most into it or the wildest or most the noticeable person there. Those are my two cents.

The Cult have a unique way of being overly simplistic, but still rock. The lyrics are similar to a Jerry Lee Lewis song, or something from a time when music wasn't vulgar. I think this is cool and shows class. The music to this song kisks ass, and has just the right feel.

the sparks from steam locomotives were visible at night and were called smokestack lightning--in the mid-50's Howlin Wolf said "smokestack lightning, shining like gold"--the Yardbirds covered Smokestack Lightning in the mid-60's--I bet you at least one member of The Cult loved the song when he was a kid.

what a great tune!

pretty sure this party jam is a STRIPPER SONG.

this was before they started doing acrobatics in adult clubs. the lazy, curvy, dance of a 80's lady on a pole "twisting like a flame in a slow dance, baby- driving me crazy, cmon little honey, shake it"

what else could that mean?

then the scat at the end... i hear: "burn it out, shake it baby, gotta have that money. stand in front of me, said, stand in fronta me yeah"

that's the only thoughts this song ever conjured- yay me!

My Interpretation
