Flamethrower

(album: Freeze Frame - 1981)

All day long she holds it back
Back with all her might
She carries a burning torch inside
She holds it firm and tight
She punches out the clock
While it keeps punching out her life
She's a flamethrower, red-hot glower
Flamethrower at night

The things she wears to 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

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 burning
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 moving through my heart
And when she's pumping 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

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
