Sonny's Burning Lyrics - Nick Cave & The Bad Seed

Have you heard how Sonny's burning 

Like some bright erotic star? 

And He lights up the proceedings 

And raises the temperature. 

Flame on! Flame on! 

Now I've seen to Sonny's burning 

Someday I think I'll cut him down 

But it can get so cold in here 

And he gives off such an evil heat. 

Flame on! Flame on! 

Hail my incubatic incubator. 

Now pay witness to Sonny's burning 

Warming the damp and rotten seed 

Warming the damp and rotten seed 

That blooms into the DEMON FLOWER 

Now both fire and flowers consume me. 

Flame on! Flame on! 

Evil heat is running through me 

Flame on! Flame on! 

Sonny's burning pits into me 

Flame on! Flame on! 

Sonny's burning holes into me 

Don't interrupt! Don't interrupt! 

Flame on! Flame on!
