Sex on Fire
Kings of Leon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lay where you're laying
Don't make a sound
I know they're watching
Watching

All the commotion
The kiddie like play
It has people talking
Talking

You
Your sex is on fire

The dark of the alley
The breaking of day
Head while I'm driving
I'm driving

Soft lips are open
Them knuckles are pale
Feels like you're dying
You're dying

You
Your sex is on fire
Consumed
With what's to transpire

Hot as a fever
Rattle of bones
I could just taste it
Taste it

If it's not forever
But there's just tonight
Oh we're still the greatest
The greatest
The greatest

You
Your sex is on fire
You
Your sex is on fire

Consumed
With what's to transpire

And you
Your sex is on fire
Consumed
With what's to transpire

The chorus repeats the statement “your sex is on fire,” emphasizing the intense desire and attraction between the lovers. The lyrics suggest that they are completely consumed by their passion, and that they are willing to take risks or ignore long-term consequences in order to indulge in the moment. Despite this, there is a sense of inevitability to their connection, with the line “if it’s not forever, but there’s just tonight” suggesting that the singer knows that their relationship may not be sustainable.


Overall, “Sex on Fire” is a sensuous and intense song that reflects the physical and emotional intensity of a sexual encounter. Through its lyrics, it explores the thrill of forbidden desire, the intensity of physical pleasure, and the fleeting nature of human connection.

Lyrics
Lay where you're laying
Don't make a sound
I know they're watching
They're watching
All the commotion
The kiddie-like play
Has people talking
They're talking
You
Your sex is on fire
The dark of the alley
The breaking of day
Head while I'm driving
I'm driving
Soft lips are open
Them knuckles are pale
Feels like you're dying
You're dying
You
Your sex is on fire
Consumed
With what's just transpired
Hot as a fever
Rattling bones
I could just taste it
Chased it
But it's not forever
But it's just tonight
Oh, we're still the greatest
The greatest
The greatest
And you
Your sex is on fire
You
Your sex is on fire, ah, ah
Consumed
With what's just transpired
And you
Your sex is on fire
Consumed
With what's just transpired
