Sonny's Burning

(album: The Bad Seed - 1983)

Hands up, who wants to die?!

Have you heard how Sonny's burning
Like some bright erotic star?
And he lights up the proceedings
And raises the temperature
Flame on! Flame on!

Someday, I'll cut him down
Yeah (uh uh uh uh)

Now I've seen to Sonny's burning
Yeah someday, I think I'll cut him down
But it can get so c-c-cold in here
And he gives off such an evil heat
Flame on! Flame on!

Hai-Hai-Hail my incubatic incubator
(Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, oh! oh! oh!)

Now pay witness to Sonny's burning
Warming the damp and rotten seed
Warming the damp and rotten seed
That blooms into the demon flower
Now fire and flowers both consume me
Flame on! Flame on!

Evil heat is running through me
Through me
Flame on! Now, flame on!
Evil heat is running through me, uh! Uh! Uh! Uh!
Uh, flame on! Flame on!
Now Sonny's burning pits into me
Flame on! Yeah, flame on!
Sonny's burning holes into me
Don't interrupt, don't interrupt
Flame on! Flame on!
Through me, yeah, through me
Don't interrupt
Uh!
Flame on, flame on, flame on, flame on
Flame on, flame on, flame on, flame on
Evil heat, baby, it consumes me!
