Playing with Fire Lyrics by The New Roses

Sweet Poison

2022

Your good advice comes much too late
I never thought I'd turn twenty eight
Cause I live a crazy life
I fly higher till the heavens end
But I must have skipped school when they taught how to land
And my gear shift's always on drive

Cause I bring the wrecking ball when I'm having a ball
Ain't gonna stop till the last brick falls
The finish line is at the end of a good time
And here comes the starting shot

Cause I'm not playing with fire
I'm not kidding around
I'm not playing with fire
I just burn the whole thing down

I've always been an all in flat out guy
I could be better but I don't know why
Cause what's the use of slowing down
I see no line until it's crossed
I keep on rolling at any cost
And tonight I rock this town

Cause I'm just killing time until it's time
You can't arrest me cause it ain't no crime
My wild heart tells me what to do
And I can hear it scream

Cause I'm not playing with fire
I'm not kidding around
I'm not playing with fire
I just burn the whole thing down

Cause I love to dance on the volcano
I keep on living on the edge

Cause I'm not playing with fire
I'm not kidding around
I'm not playing with fire
I just burn the whole thing down
