Babys On Fire Lyrics by Brian Eno

Babys On Fire Lyrics

    Baby's on fire
    Better throw her in the water
    Look at her laughing
    Like a heifer to the slaughter
    Baby's on fire
    And all the laughing boys are bitching
    Waiting for photos
    Oh the plot is so bewitching.


    Rescuers row row
    Do your best to change the subject
    Blow the wind blow blow
    Lend some assistance to the object
    Photographers snip snap
    Take your time she's only burning
    This kind of experience
    Is necessary for her learning
    If you'll be my flotsam
    I could be half the man i used to
    They said you were hot stuff
    And that's what baby's been reduced to.


    Juanita and juan
    Very clever with maracas
    Making their fortunes
    Selling second-hand tobaccos
    Juan dances at chico's
    And when the clients are evicted
    He empties the ashtrays
    And pockets all that he's collected
    But baby's on fire!
    And all the instruments agree that
    Her temperatures rising
    But any idiot would know that.
