Playing With Fire
Pushwagon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Eyes of emerald green
(Yeah! every man is the same)
Locks of angel thread
(add a little gasoline)
Now you're playing with fire
Now you're playing with fire
4 long years i fought
(every man is to blame)
No rain, dry grass of drought
Add a little gasoline
Now you're playing with fire
Now you're playing with fire
-Bridge-
Now you're playing with fire
Now you're playing with fire




playing with fire-:-
Fire!!
