In the absence of a working brain
My mind on vacation, must've been insane
A fool for love I kissed my life goodbye
At the wedding the word was spread around
A memorable occation, watch a man go down
And the honeymoon was more like a prison cell
Now look what I found, an iron wall-lover
A thorn in my side, can't you hear me cry?
I'm on fire - but my baby's not
She's pretending to love me
I'm on fire - when she's not even hot
She ain't likely to burn me
In desperation I try to clear up this mess
My lawyer on vacation, institution I guess
And I wonder how I let myself go this far, oh yeah
Yes, look what I've found, an iron wall-lover
A pain in my eyes, let me tell you why!
I'm on fire - but my baby's not
She's pretending to love me
I'm on fire - when she's not even hot
She ain't likely to burn
Solo
My world's on fire, a victim of love and hate
Pretending to love me, just take her away
I'm on fire (I'm on fire) - but my baby's not
She's pretending to love me
I'm on fire - when she's not even hot
She ain't likely to burn me
