Lay where you're laying
Don't make a sound
I know they're watching
Watching

All the commotion
The kiddie like play
It has people talking
Talking

You,
Your sex is on fire

Dark of the alley
The breaking of day
Head while I'm driving
I'm driving

Soft lips are open
Them knuckles are pale
Feels like you're dying
You're dying

You,
Your sex is on fire
Consumed,
We're the ones, what's to transpire

Hot as a fever
Rattle of bones
I could just taste it
Taste it

But it's not forever
But it's just tonight
Oh we're still the greatest
The greatest
The greatest

You,
Your sex is on fire
You,
Your sex is on fire

Consumed,
With what's to transpire

And you,
Your sex is on fire
Consumed,
With what's to transpire

    General Comment:A dildo for Christmas and an interesting man met on Friday...a chef, not less. Things are looking up. Enjoy your REM over the week. Again, I'd love to be a fly on that intellectual, open, honest, truly loving wall. LOL.

    General Comment:Sex. Blow job. Just the same old lines used over and over again. Yawn. The lack of creativity in this song depicts the lack of creativity of its users. This song should NOT be tops for this band. It's boring, and after a few years of hearing it I could fall asleep listening...

    My Opinion:Yada, yada. Once I read somewhere that this song could be about a child molester and thought, shit, this guy is like for real and that he really wants to stalk a school yard and pick out what child he wants to abduct and sexually abuse. Hopefully, people are able to separate themselves from a structured analysis enough to not make it personal, or else...we should really go back to biblical times where and eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth is literal. Can't say I wouldn't eagerly participate in plucking the eye and wrenching the tooth from such creatures. So, yeah. Sex on fire is like hell because I am christian and I believe in god...but truthfully, I believe in equality and derision the most!! A barbaric way to understand justice, yes, but at least it's fair!! And that is my take on $0.02 worth of crap! Yep!

    General Comment:The MOST boring song about sex ever written/performed (no pun intended). Wow..."sex on fire." Such creativity. Toss some friggin' wrist ties, blindfolds, toys. and oils and then maybe the song might have some actual fire to it. Any guy who thinks this is a good sex song must stink in bed. I'd use the word 'suck,' but that would be giving him too much credit;)

    General Comment:A song about sex. Enjoy your night, All. I tried. Probably shouldn't have, but I did. And I failed. I gotta keep reminding myself of that "dignity" word :)

    General Comment:This song is deeply sad for me. I feel it closer. I`ve been there, probably like many people who will listen to those lyrics. In my opinion, the lyrics are about two people, who love each other very much, but they have only one shot. A secret affair, forbidden, dangerous and painfully aware of what comes next- the end. They can only have sex, nothing more. Somewhere in a hidden bedroom, where these two will make sex, always on fire, always like it is for a last time, because it is not right to be together.

    General Comment:This song quite obviously is about copulating so profusely that both of the participants spontaneously combust. As a result, the two promptly halt their intercourse and proceed to extinguish the flames.

    Definitely an experience that we can all relate to.
