Sex On Fire
▶ Kings of Leon Lyrics

Lay where you're laying
Stay still and don't move from where you are lying.

Don't make a sound
Stay silent and don't vocalize anything.

I know they're watching
I understand that others are observing us.

Watching
Looking at us attentively, observing our actions.

All the commotion
The chaos and disorder surrounding us.

The kiddie like play
Childish behavior on display.

It has people talking
Our actions have been noticed and are causing discussion among onlookers.

You
Referring to the person with whom the singer is having sexual relations.

Your sex is on fire
The physical act of sex is intense and all-consuming.

The dark of the alley
The dimly lit surroundings of the alleyway where they are located.

The breaking of day
Morning is beginning to dawn.

Head while I'm driving
The act of receiving oral sex while the singer is driving a vehicle.

I'm driving
The singer is operating a vehicle while receiving oral sex.

Soft lips are open
The other person's mouth is wide open while performing oral sex.

Them knuckles are pale
The other person is gripping something so tightly that their knuckles are turning white.

Feels like you're dying
The physical sensation is so intense that it feels like the other person could be close to passing out or dying.

Consumed
The singer is completely consumed by the act of sex and can think of nothing else.

With what's to transpire
The singer is thinking about what will happen next in this intense sexual encounter.

Hot as a fever
The intense physical sensations are like a fever or high temperature.

Rattle of bones
The physical movements and noises made by the bodies during sex are loud and intense.

I could just taste it
The experience is so vivid and intense that the singer can almost taste it.

But it's not forever
The intensity of this sexual experience will not last forever and will eventually come to an end.

But it's just tonight
This intense sexual encounter is only happening tonight and may never happen again.

Oh we're still the greatest
Despite the intensity of the encounter, the singer and their partner are still the best at what they do.
