Flamethrower Lyrics - Freeze Frame - J. Geils Band

All day long she holds it back 

Back with all her might 

She carries a burnin' torch inside 

She holds it firm and tight 

She punches out the clock 

While it keeps punchin' out her life 

She's a flamethrower, red-hot glower 

Flamethrower at night 

The things she wears at work 

They hang off her kinda loose 

Her blouse don't fit, the pants ain't right 

She ain't no front page news 

But when her work is done 

And the daytime turns to night 

The headlines flash in neon 

That the girl has taken flight 

Chairman of the board 

Won't look her in the eye 

The fire of her vision 

His money just can't buy 

Silently she waits 

Silently she contemplates 

She can make 'em tremble 

You know the reason why 

[Chorus] 

She's a flame, flamethrower 

She's a flamethrower at night 

She's a flame, a red-hot glower 

She's a flamethrower at night 

You might think you're burnin' 

All your candles at both ends 

Maybe you should go to church 

To make up some amends 

But if you think you're fireproof 

So cool and much too much 

Don't dare go near my baby 

Cause she'll melt you with her touch 

I forget the darkness 

I forget the pain 

When she's movin' through my heart 

And when she's pumpin' through my veins 

She's the part inside me 

I never can control 

And she's the only reason 

I know I've got a soul 

[Chorus]
