Playing with fire

Sweeping my finger through the flame
How slowly can I glide not getting burned in this game?

How long can I handle the heat?
How long can I handle it?
Tempting and tickling fate
How long can I handle it?

Playing with fire
Burning aspire
Levelling higher and higher and higher oh


All lights burn down and flames go out
Giddily I'm wondering what this was all about

A good or a bad trip?
How long can I handle it?
Wiping the soot off my fingertip
How long can I handle it?

Playing with fire...

There'll be new flames
There'll be new games
New lights in the candlestick
But in the long run
don't see the humdrum
but the promise in an unlit wick
