Kiss Of Fire

Brave Combo Kiss Of Fire Lyrics
1.The Eyes Of Santa Lucia

I can remember them
Blue as the ocean
Whenever i drew nigh
Blue as a stormy sky
Ever so sisterly
I would advise her
Looking into her eyes
Doomed as a falling star
Refrain:

L & c: my dear lucia
Why can't you see me?
L: santa lucia, is what they'll call thee
L & c: eyes once gazed lovingly
So veiled in purity
Santa lucia, santa lucia

All your sisters have wed
Just as expected
As the most beautiful
You've been selected

L & c: that's when our father said
'lucy must marry'
She said, 'i'd rather die'
And then she scared me

Refrain

L: and like the waters (carl echoes)
Of pure devotion (carl echoes)
She'd rather love god(carl echoes)
With all emotion
Jesus, he is the lord (carl echoes)
Why can't you see it?
And so she plucked her eyes
Out in his spirit.

Refrain


2.A Night On Earth

Hello...
Chorus:
Look at the moon, reflecting the sun
The sky is so pretty
The treetops are bright
And it feels like a night on earth

People are ants, we're using our time the way we use it
We try to be strong, and face another day on earth
Or going for a ride alone
It makes me wonder where we live

The houses all go racing by
And i'm in someone's yard and
The rivers and lakes
Have rivers of roads to find our country
And birds in their eggs, and men and their guns all think the
same
The motel is old, but out on the street
The sign is still pretty.
It's raining around, and all around town the town's at work
The line of people waiting to pay
At the supermarket aisle
Is a colorful sight to see
But there's no hope, just clothing

Chorus


3.A Way To Say Goodbye

Skip all the duress and bitterness
I prefer to part with you as friends
How would you suggest a better way,
A way to say goodbye?
My heart is made of flint, it's made of fire
Yours is like pyrex, resisting mine
I am so perplexed, i need a way
A way to say goodbye.

Spoken
[i know that an old love like ours
Was never meant to have more than the smallest chance
Still, won't you please say something now
That will help me understand?]

Skip all the duress i'd rather find
Something to protect me from your kind
Behind a kleenex i'll shield my eyes
A way to say goodbye
A way to say goodbye
Skip all the duress i'd rather find
Something to protect me from your kind
Behind a kleenex i'll shield my eyes
A way to say goodbye
A way to say goodbye
A way to say goodbye...


4.Burn Slow

The night that you first touched me
You shook me from my peace, then took me from a safe place
You took me from a safe place and you stole my heart's ease

You act like a mortician, presiding at a wake
I close the lid on passion
Knowing well what's at stake
Your love consumed me wholly
At times i could not breathe
I daren't love you solely
Always felt you might leave

I offered you my soul like a humble sacrifice
You put it under a glass
Then you put it
On ice, on ice, on ice,
On ice, on ice, on ice,
On ice, on ice, on ice

And now that love has burned me
I'm waiting by the pyre
I thought my eyes were open
When i started the fire
And then to pile on insult, after the injury
You said my soul was tarnished
How you rubbed off on me!

Well now that all's been done and
We've had our last farewell
I'm burning all your letters, watching them all
Burn slow, burn slow,
Burn slow, burn slow,
(repeat)


5.Candles

Refrain:
You, were my hope
Your hope was mine
Candles are low
For the last time
I don't want to look; when i do it saddens me
It saddens me so when i recall their first light
I don't want to turn back to then, for then i'll see
How quickly they lengthen in line and they multiply

(refrain)

Once i made a big cake for my father so long ago
For his 50th birthday one year, wouldn't you know
Like cassandra, i read him a chilling prophecy
I read him a poem, it was 'candles' and now i grieve

Spoken:
[days of our future stand before us
Like a row of little lighted candles
Golden, warm and lively little candles
The days gone by remain behind us
A mournful line of burnt-out candles
The nearest ones are still smoking
Cold candles, melted, and bent]
(from 'candles' by cavafy)

I don't want to look when i do it saddens me
It saddens me so when i recall their first light
I don't want to turn back to then, for then i'll see
How quickly they lengthen in line, and they multiply.

(refrain)


6.I Could Have Danced All Night

Bed? bed -- i couldn't go to bed
My head's too light to try to settle down
Sleep? sleep -- i couldn't sleep tonight
Not for all the jewels in the crown!

I could have danced all night
I could have danced all night
And still have begged for more
I could have spread my wings
And done a thousand things
I'd never done before
I'll never know what made it so exciting
When all at once my heart took flight
I only know when he began to dance with me
I could have danced, danced, danced..all night

Bubba: it's after three now
Don't you agree now
She ought to be in bed
Lauren: i could've danced...
B: your time is up
L: all night...
B: you must be dead
L: i could have danced...
B: your face is drawn
L: all night...
B: your eyes are red
L: and still...
B: now say goodnight
L: have begged...
B: please, turn out the light
L: for more.
B: please, it's really time for you to be in bed
L: i could have spread...
B: just come along
L: my wings...
B: do as you're told
L: and done a thousand...
B: or mr. finch
L: things
B: is apt to scold
L: i'd nev-
B: you're up too late
L: -er done...
B: please, i'm sure it's late
L: before.
B: please, or as sure as fate you'll catch a cold
L: i'll never know what made it so exciting
When all at once my heart took flight
I only know
B: put down that book
L: when he...
B: the book can keep
L: began to dance...
B: now settle down
L: with me...
B: and go to sleep
L: i could have...
L & b: ...danced, danced, danced...all night.


7.I Get Ideas

When we are dancing and you're dangerously near me
I get ideas, i get ideas
I want to hold you, so much closer than i dare to
I want to scold you, 'cause i care more than i care too
And when you touch me, and there's fire in every finger
I get ideas, i get ideas
And after we have kissed goodnight oh still you linger
I kinda think you get ideas too

Your eyes are always saying, the things you never say
I only hope they're saying, that you could love me too
But that's the whole idea, it's true, lovely idea
That i fall in love with you

Tus ojos siempre dicen, cosas que nunca dices
Espero que me dicen que t?me amaras
Pero es toda la idea, verdad, buena idea
Que yo te amare

And when you touch me and there's fire in every finger
I get ideas, i get ideas
And after we hae kissed goodnight oh still you linger
I kinda think you get ideas
Think you get ideas
Think you get ideas, too.


8.J'ai Faim, Toujours

I'm so hungry
I can hardly think
I'm so hungry
Never mind the drinks
I live upon the boulevard
I live a life that's very hard
Won't someone, some kind soul, help me out?
Refrain (sung twice each time)

(lauren & carl)
J'ai faim, toujours
Toujours, j'ai faim
I'm hungry
Al-al-ways

Lauren: sometimes kind men
Carl: sometimes kind men
L: frequent these cafes
C: frequent these cafes
L: only blind men
C: only blind men
L: don't pause to appraise
C: don't pause to appraise
L: i love to drink cold allgote
I'd love to sample cuisines haute
Here i beg on the rue pigalle

Refrain

L & c: yes my hunger, is a shameful fact
And i want more than a snack
Maybe i'll kiss you, for a while
If you'll feed me, in high style

L: aren't you hungry c: aren't you hungry
L: for my company? c: for my company?
L: aren't you hungry? c: aren't you hungry?
L: so let's go to eat c: so let's go to eat

A life of struggle, i call mine
But we'll have fun, please pass the wine
Won't you please, take a chance on me?

Refrain

Hey!


9.Kiss Of Fire

I touch your lips and all at once, the sparks go flying
Those devil lips that know so well when i am lying
And though i see the danger, still flames go higher
I know i must surrender to your kiss of fire
Just like a torch you set my soul within me burning
I must go on along the road, no returning
And though it burns me, it turns me into ashes
My whole world crashes, without your kiss of fire

I can't resist you, what good is there in trying
What good is there denying, you're all that i desire
Since first i kissed you, my heart was yours completely
If i'm a slave, then it's a slave, i want to be...

Don't pity me, don't pity me

Give me your lips, the lips you only let me borrow
Love me tonight, devil take tomorrow
I know that i must have your kiss although it kills me
Though it consumes me, your kiss of fire
I know that i must have your kiss although it kills me
Though it consumes me your kiss of fire.


10.Serendipity

*whistle*
Your eyes across the room they did not smolder.
You looked so young and fine i shrugged my shoulders
I thought to myself, 'there's the door.'
I'm played out on l'amour
My nerve was up, my fear just made me bolder!

Your feet across the dance floor did not burn up
And once, for half an hour you did not turn up!
I thought to myself, 'take your time,
Talk to him, it's not your dime.'
One word occurred to me before i spurned love

Refrain (l & c):
Serendipity, is what you mean to me
Serendipity, the first warm day in spring
Serendipity, you'll be my lover for eternity
I will take one more dance
With a smile on the chance we will love.

Ha-ha!

Jeffrey: hey!

Indeed you caught my eye for you are handsome
You reminded me of edith piaf chansons
I thought to myself, 'he's so nice.'
Won't pretend i'm not surprised
Most men i've known are either beasts or burdens!

Refrain

[i will take one more dance
With a smile on the chance we will love.]


11.Take A Deep Breath

L:when i'm all alone
L & c:i take a deep breath
L:far away from home
L & c:i take a deep breath
L:when the lights are low
I take in air
L & c: i don't know how it helps, but it helps
To take a deep breath.

L: when i count my sins
L & c: i take a deep breath
L: when i just can't win
L & c: i take a deep breath
L: when i'm afraid of life
I take in air
I don't know how it helps, but it helps
To take a deep breath.

L: i'm on the floor
L & c: i take a deep breath
L: i can't take no more
L & c: i take a deep breath
L: when there's no love
I can take in air
I don't know how it helps, but it helps (3x)
To take a deep breath.

L: when i'm waking up (carl echoes)
I take a deep breath (carl echoes)
When i have good luck (carl echoes)
I take a deep breath (carl echoes)
My only hope (carl echoes)
Is to take in air
I don't know how it helps, but it helps (15x by lauren; 13x by
carl)
To take a deep breath


12.Under Paris Skies

Stranger beware
There's love in the air
Under paris skies
Try to be smart
And don't let your heart catch on fire
Love becomes king
The moment it's spring
Under paris skies
Lonely hearts meet
Somewhere on the streets of desire

Parisian love can bloom
High in a skylight room
Or in a gay cafe where hundreds of people can see

I wasn't smart
And i lost my heart
Under paris skies
Don't ever be
A heartbroken stranger like me

Oh i fell in love
Yes i was a fool
For paris can be
So beautifully cruel
Paris is just a gay coquette
Who longs to love and then regret
Stranger beware
There's love in the air

Just look and see
What happened to me
Under paris skies
Watch what you do
The same thing can happen to you
