Catherine Wheel Lyrics:
Kiss me like a Catherine Wheel
One of us is out of touch
One of us is out of time
But I want to tell you how I feel
Something about the way
You spin around and say
Kiss me like a Catherine Wheel
You tropical electric storm
I could never keep you warm
I could never keep it real
I didn't think at all
I didn't feel the fall
So kiss me like a Catherine Wheel
And love me like a Roman Candle
All the seconds that we steal
They were much too hot to handle
I can really feel the flood
This champagne tastes a lot like blood
And I do not know how I'm going to heal
I know how fire works but I still
Let you kiss me like a Catherine Wheel
Kiss me like a Catherine Wheel
Kiss me like we're going to die
Kiss me every kiss goodbye
But I've got to tell you how I feel
Like everything is sugar, baby
Everything is doom
And everything was simple when I had you in my room
I knew it was going to burn
And I feel it every time you turn
And I do not know how I'm going to heal
I know how fire works but I still
Let you kiss me like a Catherine Wheel
I know how fireworks but I'd still
Let you kiss me like a Catherine Wheel.
