Shake me into the night and I'm an easy lover
Take me into the fight and I'm an easy brother
And I'm on fire

Burn my sweet effigy, I'm a road runner
Spill my guts on a wheel, I wanna taste uh-huh
And I'm on fire
And I'm on fire

And I'm on fire (I'm going, you tell me, I feel it, I say it)
(I'm heading back into the tunnel for my soul to burn) I'm on fire
(I'm coming, you coming, no hiding, my feeling)
(I wanna take it to the highest over me, yeah)
Whoo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
Whoo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo

Wire me up to machines, I'll be your prisoner
Find it hard to believe you are my murderer
I'm on fire behind you
It's a fallen sky

I'm on fire (I'm going, you tell me, I feel it, I say it)
(I'm heading back into the tunnel for my soul to burn) I'm on fire
(I'm coming, you coming, no hiding, my feeling)
(I wanna take it to the highest over me, yeah)
Whoo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
Whoo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo

And I'm on fire
I'm on fire

Move on, you got to move on
You got to get to the hip, get your shake on

Move on, you got to move on
You got to get to the hip, get your shake on

I feel it, I want it, I'm coming, I tell ya
I caught a bullet from the heavens to the one you serve
I'm going, I'm running, out to the highest love
I'm wanna get you to the hip

(I'm on fire) move on, you got to move on
You got to get to the hip, get your shake on (I'm on fire)

Move on, you got to move on
You got to get to the hip, get your shake on
