Thompson Twins - This Girl's on Fire Lyrics

Came on a hurricane
From a southern town
Some place that had no name
She's fats and furious
And pretty boys on TV sets
Have made her curious

[Chorus]
This girl's on fire
She can't get any higher
Right from the start
She'll break your heart
This girl's on fire

Love is not what she brings
She breathes a passion into me
It colors all my dreams
She says she'll never sleep
Until this city howls and screams
Burns down 'round her feet

[Chorus]
Yeah this girl's on fire
She can't get any higher
She's a passionate child
You know she'll love you wild
This girl's on fire

I wanted to take her home
A thousand summers all my own
But I just let her go
And witches still get burned
And boys get scared at every turn
When will they ever learn that

[Chorus]
This girl's on fire
She can't get any higher
She'll leave you blind
She'll leave you behind
This girl's on fire
