White heat
When I'm around you
I don't wanna burn
But I know I'm bound to
White heat
Searing my soul
I'm out of control
No escaping from the white heat

Every time you move that way
I hurt with desire
The feeling takes me over
Consumes me with fire
Tongue-tied, I can't hide
I'm running out of games to play
I know I shouldn't stay
But I can't get out of the way of the

White heat
Driving me out of my mind
My blood is running hot
And my heart is working overtime
White heat
Searing my soul
I'm out of control
I'm lost, burning in white heat

Maybe if you try, you can cool me down
Soothe me
Move me
And turn me around
Maybe you can love me till we run out of steam
Turn the flame to ember
And remember the dream of white heat

White heat
Devours my soul
I'm out of control
Burning up
Burning up
Burning in white heat
