I've always liked to
Play with fire.
The way it dances
fascinates me.
Especially the way it dances
On white stone
And blackening wood.
I've always liked to
Play with fire.
The crackle of wood breaking
And the popping of embers
Are so soothing.
I've always liked to
Play with fire.
Ah yes,
The large expanse north
That no one inhabits
Except for
Caribu and
Other arctic animals.
I've always liked to
Play with fire.
Let me tell you,
I'm not exactly the friendliest.
Only the fourth in the world rankings
Of friendliness.
I've always liked to
Play with fire.
Don't mind Quebec,
She's just yelling
At the others.
I've always liked to
Play with fire.
The way it dances
fascinates me.
Especially the way it dances
On white stone
And blackening wood.
