Analysis of Bruce is on Fire
This song is...
Very short but quite telling
About a man's many emotions
Wants the one he knows he can't have
And this wanting can take a very long time
So instead
He created
A short
Song.
"Hey little girl, is your daddy home?
Did he go away and leave you all alone? Mhmm
I got a bad desire
Oh oh oh, I'm on fire
Tell me now, baby, is he good to you?
And can he do to you the things that I do? Oh no
I can take you higher
Oh oh oh, I'm on fire
Sometimes it's like someone took a knife, baby
Edgy and dull and cut a six inch valley
Through the middle of my skull
At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet
And a freight train running through the middle of my head
Only you can cool my desire
Oh oh oh, I'm on fire"--B.
(B.Springst -- "I'm on fire"]
Hope you E-Joy this one, too!
