Set the world aflame
You light it up, are you ready?
Life just ain't the same
We've got that heat, getcha right up on my feet!
Got to hose me down
Gonna need a rescue-- oh, please and thank you!
Turn that ladder 'round
Cuz it's so hot, your love is all I got!

You're my rescue girl, you can save the world I hope
In my heart, when we're apart I keep it yearning
So rescue me, I can finally see you're mine
In your eyes, I see the planet is a-burnin'
Rescue girl, yeah you are the world to me
And I promise I'll be there for you forever
So rescue me, come and set me free
Alive from the flames in my heart

Set the world ablaze
I've got this smoulderin' affection
Let me count the ways
I need to know so bad
Burn it to the ground
Light me up-- Cool me down baby!!
Move it to the sound
Got the hot stuff! Yeah-hah!

Set the world aflame
Life just ain't the same
Got to hose me down
Turn that ladder 'round

You're my rescue girl, you can save the world I hope
In my heart, when we're apart I keep it yearning
So rescue me, I can finally see you're mine
In your eyes, I see the planet is a-burnin'
Rescue girl, yeah you are the world to me
And I promise I'll be there for you forever
So rescue me, come and set me free
Alive from the flames in my heart

You're my rescue girl, you can save the world I hope
In my heart, when we're apart I keep it yearning
So rescue me, I can finally see you're mine
In your eyes, I see the planet is a-burnin'
Rescue girl, yeah you are the world to me
And I promise I'll be there for you forever




So rescue me, come and set me free
Alive from the flames in my heart

Thanks to Delak for showing a lot of us folks to this song, but we're going to associate this song with dancing Hitler for the rest of time.
