Playing with Fire
Okay, Playing with Fire is easily the best song on Brandon Flowers' Flamingo. Everything between the end of the first chorus and the end of the second makes me want to die of awesome.
He's definitely gone overboard with religious themes~ though.
Perhaps this calling as the channel of invention,
I will not blush if others see it as a crime.
However dangerous the road, however distant,
These things won't compromise the will of the design.
Ten thousand demons hammer down at every footstep,
Ten thousand angels rush the wind against my back.
The church of mine may not be recognised by steeple,
That doesn't mean that I will walk without a God.
Rollin' River of Truth, can you spare me a sip?
The holy fountain of youth has been reduced to a drip.
I've got this burning belief in salvation and love
This notion may be naive, but when push comes to shove
I will till this ground
You know you're gonna hurt somebody tonight
The playing with fire/you're gonna hurt somebody tonight is consuming my brain.
