Very clever with maracas

Baby's On Fire - The Creepers

Baby's on fire
Better throw her in the water
Look at her laughing
Like a heifer to the slaughter

Baby's on fire
And all the laughing boys are bitching
Waiting for photos
Oh the plot is so bewitching

Rescuers row, row
Do your best to change the subject
Blow the wind blow Joe
Lend some assistance to the object

If you'd be my flotsam
I could be half the man I used to
They said you were hot stuff
And that's what baby's been reduced to

The need to have fun
Very clever with maracas
Making their fortune
Selling second-hand tobaccos

We danced at Chico's
And when the fires started bitching
He empties their ashtrays
And pockets all that he's collected

My baby's on fire
And all the instruments agree that
Her temperature's rising
And any idiot would know that


No sabéis lo que me ha costado encontrar esta letra. Creo que sólo está en en la página donde la encontré, aquí. Y de paso, por el camino, me he enterado de que es una versión de una canción de Brian Eno, que no he tenido el placer de escuchar.
