Lyrics

Playing With Fire

Run through the night

And find no place to hide

Cold sweat's running over your face

You're living for your sword and your gun

Leaving the world in disgrace

Dancing on the edge of a knife

Twisting around like a fool

Escaping from the wrong side of life

Trying to break all the rules

Playing with fire

You're touching the flame

Playing with fire

But life's not a game

Playing with fire

You're losing control

Playing with fire

Don't let yourself go

You're playing with fire...

All of your life

You have been mistreated

Caught in a black masquerade

Look into the mirror of sin

Facing that it's not too late
