Burn-up Lyrics - Peepshow - Siouxsie And The Banshees

A crumpled future in your fist 

The killing streak ascends sun-kissed 

And the firestarter from within 

Pokes out from fever blistered grin 

King Salamander -- that's his name 

A desert maker -- that's his aim 

The benign cremator, branding iron in his hand 

Eager and willing to torch the land 

All fire and brimstone 

This jack-o-lantern 

He likes to watch the buildings burn

His ardour smoulders -- phosphorous flies 

He radiates with urgence to hypnotize 

Stoke the furnace -- feed his need 

This thirst for fire is all he sees 

He's the blazing rubber making tracks 

The blue touch paper at your back 

All fire and brimstone 

This salamander king 

He basks whilst all around him burns 

'Giddy-up, burn-up, not fade away' 

These words ignite and pave his way 

'Giddy-up, burn-up, stoke it up and turn it up' 

He sings these words in fervid frame

All fire and brimstone 

This jack-o-lantern 

He likes to watch the pyres burn 

Jack be nimble -- jack be quick 

Jack jump over the candlestick
