Wound up, can't sleep, can't do anything right, little honey,
Oh, since I set my eyes on you.
I tell you the truth.
Twistin' like a flame in a slow dance, baby,
You're driving me crazy.
Come on, little honey, come on now!

Fire! Smoke, she is a rising!
Fire! Smoke on the horizon!
Fire! Smoke, she is a rising!
Fire! Smoke stack lightning!

You shake it up, you're to blame, got me swayin' little honey.
My heart's a ball of burnin' flame.
Oh, yes it is.
Trancing like a cat on a hot tin shack,
Lord, have mercy! Come on little sister, come on and shake it!

Fire! Smoke, she is a rising!
Fire! Smoke on the horizon!
Fire! Smoke, she is a rising!
Fire! Smoke stack lightning!

I was thinking what I've been missing.
I'll tell you truthfully, well.
She's coming close now.
I can feel her.

She's getting close to me.
Fire! Smoke, she is a rising!
Fire! Smoke on the horizon!
Fire! Smoke, she is a rising!
Fire! Smoke stack lightning!

Fire woman you're to blame

    General Comment:the meaning is simple... as with many rock songs this is yet another drug reference. it is about smoking crystal meth. "smoke she is arising", "smoke stack lightening", and of course "wound up, can't sleep, can't so anything right baby since i set my eyes on you." smoking lightening is hitting the glass pipe. he is in love with the flame that gives rise to the smoke from the glass pipe, but "she has got him all messed up. suuuuuuuper kick ass song!

    General Comment:My favorite song by The Cult. "twisting like a flame in a slow dance"Twisting like flame, a flame kind of moves around and is usually a bit wild. The woman is abit wild. In a slow dance she is the most into it or the wildest or most the noticeable person there. Those are my two cents.

    General Comment:Some of the Cult's lyrics are cool but this seems very generic, Twistin' like a flame in a slow dance is about the only thing you might not have heard in a song before. But what does that mean? How does a flame twist and why a slow dance and then how does one twist like that anyway.

    General Comment:The Cult have a unique way of being overly simplistic, but still rock. The lyrics are similar to a Jerry Lee Lewis song, or something from a time when music wasn't vulgar. I think this is cool and shows class. The music to this song kisks ass, and has just the right feel.
