I got smokestack lightning
Runnin’ through my veins
Trouble hangin’ round my neck
It's like a ball & chain

Gotta be more than this to being alive
Everyday spittin’ out nine to five
Every night runnin’ all over this town
Comin’ home feelin’ no pain

I got a hunger and cold desire
Someday it’s gonna take me higher
Just another small flame
Just runnin’ through the fire
Just another small flame
Just runnin’ through the fire

Runnin’ through the fire
Baby, it’s gonna get hot
Runnin’ through the fire
Honey, if you're ready or not
Runnin’ through the fire
Honey, any way you turn
Runnin’ through the fire
Baby, you're gonna get burned

I’m rollin’ down the alleyway
Headin’ for the neon lights
I got a soul full of stuggling
Need a little mercy tonight

This world’s asking just a little too much
Honey, I need a lovin’ tender touch
Just move your body close to mine
Make everything alright

I got a hunger and cold desire
Someday it’s gonna take me higher
Just another small flame
Runnin’ through the fire
Just another small flame
Runnin’ through the fire

Runnin’ through the fire
Baby, it’s gonna get hot
Runnin’ through the fire
Honey, if you're ready or not
Runnin’ through the fire
Baby, any way you turn
Runnin’ through the fire
Baby, you're gonna get burned

(solo)

Runnin’ through the fire
Honey, it’s gonna get hot
Runnin’ through the fire
Baby, if you're ready or not
Runnin’ through the fire
Honey, any way you turn
Runnin’ through the fire
Baby, you're gonna get burned

Runnin’ through the fire
Honey, it’s gonna get hot
Runnin’ through the fire
Baby, if you're ready or not
Runnin’ through the fire
Honey, any way you turn
Runnin’ through the fire
Baby, you're gonna get burned
