Bushfire

Written by Cindy Wilson, Kate Pierson, Fred Schnieder and Keith Strickland

Performed by The B-52s

On the horizon
The landscape's burning red

Bushfire
Smoke in your eyes
Smoke in your eyes

If you feel something
That makes you warm all over
If you got a fire and you can't put it out
Got a bushfire

Rolling through a field of molten flowers (aaaah)
Burning in a field of molten flowers (aaaah)
There's a bushfire (aaaah)
There a bushfire burning, yeah (aaaah)

Bushfire
Bushfire
Bushfire

My mind's been going places without me lately
I need your arms to take me down
Take me to the ground
But I hold back
Get away from the heat
Hold back
In my field of vision
Hold back
Baby burning, fire

Fire in a field of molten flowers (aaaah)
Fire in a field of molten flowers (aaaah)
There's a bushfire burning, yeah (aaaah)
You better hold back, hold back (aaaah)

Bushfire
Bushfire
Bushfire

But I'm moving to the beat of a big bushfire
I'm dancing to the heat of a big bushfire
And the flames are warm and getting brighter
Whoo-hoo

Well everybody likes to dance around the heat and fire
Oh, lightning strike twice!
Hey everybody bask in the afterglow
Bushfire
Yeah, lightning strike twice!
Hey everybody bask in the afterglow
Bushfire

Naked light shining over my bed
Been lying here too long
I need your arms to take me down
Take me to the ground
But I hold back
Get away from the heat
Hold back
In my field of vision
Hold back
I see smoke
Smoke in your eyes

Bushfire
Bushfire
Bushfire
The landscape's burning red (Bushfire)
The landscape's burning red hot (Bushfire)
It's red hot (Bushfire)
The landscape is red hot (Bushfire)
Hold me in a field of molten flowers (Bushfire)
Hold me in a field of molten flowers (Bushfire)
Take me to the ground (Bushfire)
Hold me, hold me, hold me
