The Fire Knows Its Own

[Verse 1]

Her finger curled like the tail of a scorpion

I crawl to you on my teeth like a mortal man

Lullabies of lashings take me to unconscious land

My body let a poem pass out of every gash made by your hand

[Refrain]

Love

What would you do for love?

Would you cut yourself in pieces

To feed the rest of us?

[Chorus]

I only ran away so I'd be quicker back to you

I got disaster in my bones

The only time your straight with me

Is when we’re lying down

My girl, the fire knows its own

[Refrain]

Love

What would you do for love?

Would you smash yourself to mush

To feed the rest of us?

[Verse 2]

I’m aroused at a rope tie

I blush at a knot

Scoop my eyеs from sockets

I know what’s real I don’t need to watch it

Take my tonguе if you need it

I’ve long been done speaking

The truth needs no believers, believe me

[Chorus]

I only ran away so I'd be quicker back to you

I got disaster in my bones

The only time your straight with me

Is when we’re lying down

My girl, the fire knows its own

I only ran away so I'd be quicker back to you

I got disaster in my bones

The only time your straight with me

Is when we’re lying down

My girl, the fire knows its own

[Outro]

The fire knows its own
