Nick Cave and the bad seeds - babe, i’m on fire

Father says it, mother says it Sister says it, brother says it Uncle says it, Auntie says it Everyone at the party says Babe, I’m on fire Babe, I’m on fire The horse says it, the pig says it The judge in his wig says it The fox and the rabbit And the nun in her habit says Babe, I’m on fire Babe, I’m on fire My mate Bill Gates says it The President of the United States says it The slacker and the worker The girl in her burqa says Babe, I’m on fire Babe, I’m on fire The general with his tank says it The man at the bank says it The soldier with his rocket And the mouse in my pocket says Babe, I’m on fire Babe, I’m on fire The drug-addled wreck With a needle in his neck says it The drunk says it, punk says it The brave Buddhist monk says Babe, I’m on fire Babe, I’m on fire Hit me up, baby, and knock me down Drop what you’re doing and come around We can hold hands till the sun goes down Cause I know That you And I Can be Together Cause I love you The blind referee says it The unlucky amputee says it The giant killer bee Landing on my knee says Babe, I’m on fire Babe, I’m on fire The cop with his breathalyser The paddy with his fertiliser The man in the basement That’s getting a taste for it says Babe, I’m on fire Babe, I’m on fire The fucked-up Rastafarian says it The dribbling libertarian says it The sweet little Goth With the ears of cloth says Babe, I’m on fire Babe’ I’m on fire The cross-over country singer says it The hump-backed bell ringer says it The swinger, the flinger The outraged right-winger says Babe, I’m on fire Babe, I’m on fire The man going hiking says it The misunderstood Viking says it The man at the rodeo And the lonely old Eskimo says Babe, I’m on fire Babe, I’m on fire [Chorus]
