V2
You shake it up, you’re to blame, got me swayin’ little honey.
My heart’s a ball of burnin’ flame.
Oh, yes it is.
Trancing like a cat on a hot tin shack,
Lord, have mercy! Come on little sister, come on and shake it!

Fire! Smoke, she is a rising!
Fire! Smoke on the horizon!
Fire! Smoke, she is a rising!
Fire! Smoke stack lightning!
Bridge
I was thinking what I’ve been missing.
I’ll tell you truthfully, well.
She’s coming close now.
I can feel her.
She’s getting close to me.
Cho
Fire! Smoke, she is a rising!
Fire! Smoke on the horizon!
Fire! Smoke, she is a rising!
Fire! Smoke stack lightning
