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 at 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
(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 at 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 Explain Request ×
