She was an orphan girl Left out on her lonesome in the cruel world She was thumbin´â outâ from Vegas offâ a Staten curse In this town fullâ of ashes, I knew I found a pearl, found a pearl
The heat of summertime We were passionate, restless and we were runnin´ wild There was no one could touch us, yeah, her heart was mine She was ready to rev it, and she was lookin´ fine, lookin´ fine
And she burned something beautiful Yeah, the burn now is unstoppable
´Cause you can´t light a match that´s already on fire No, you can´t take it back once you´ve crossed that wire She´s not goin´ down unless she´s goin´ down in flames No, you can´t light a match that´s already on fire
On fire
The smell of gasoline Her smile reflected the fire in a smell of gasoline She´s a smoke show and ragin´ like you ain´t never seen She was ready to rev it, and she was lookin´ mean, lookin´ mean
Yeah, we burned something beautiful It burns and it´s unstoppable
´Cause you can´t light a match that´s already on fire No, you can´t take it back once you´ve crossed that wire
She´s not goin´ down unless she´s goin´ down in flames You can´t light a match that´s already on fire
Her silhouette´s a vision as she´s walkin´ from the flames Been a force of raw destruction from an early age No one knew what happened the night they found her cryin´ A smoky mess in a tiny orphanage as the flames were risin´ high
You can´t light a match that´s already on fire You can´t take it back once you´ve crossed that wire She´s not goin´ down unless she´s goin´ down in flames No, you can´t light a match that´s already on fire
