Firestarter
Gene Simmons Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fire...
(Hey, hey, hey)

I'm the trouble starter, punky instigator
I'm the fear addicted, danger illustrated (hey, hey, hey)

I'm a firestarter, twisted firestarter (hey, hey, hey)
You're the firestarter, twisted firestarter (hey, hey, hey)
I'm a firestarter, twisted firestarter...

I'm the bitch you hated, filth infatuated
Yeah, I'm the pain you tasted, feel intoxicated (hey, hey, hey)

I'm a firestarter, twisted firestarter (hey, hey, hey)
You're the firestarter, twisted firestarter (hey, hey, hey)

Fire...
(Hey, hey, hey)

I'm the self inflicted, my detonator
Yeah, I'm the one infected, twisted animator (hey, hey, hey)

I'm a firestarter, twisted firestarter (hey, hey, hey)
You're the firestarter, twisted firestarter (hey, hey, hey)
I'm a firestarter, twisted firestarter (yeah...)

(Hey, hey, hey)

Fire... (hey, hey, hey)




I'm a firestarter, twisted firestarter
I'm a firestarter, twisted firestarter...
