She was a orphan girl

Left out on her lonesome in a cruel world

She was thumbin' out from vegas off a staten curse

In this town full of ashes, I knew I'd found a pearl

Found a pearl.

The heat of summertime

We were passionate, restless and we were runnin' wild

There was no one could touch us, yeah, her heart was mine

She was ready to rev' it and she was lookin' fine

Lookin' fine.

And she burned somethin' beautiful

Yeah, the burn now is unstoppable

'cause you can't light a match that's already on fire

No, you can't take it back once you've crossed that wire

She's not goin' down unless she's goin' down in flames

'cause you can't light a match that's already on fire.

(On fire)

The smell of gasoline

Her smile reflected the fire in a smell of gasoline

She's a smoke show, erasin' like you ain't ever seen

She was ready to rev' it and she was lookin' mean

Lookin' mean.

Yeah, we burned somethin' beautiful

It burns and it's unstoppable

'cause you can't light a match that's already on fire

No, you can't take it back once you've crossed that wire

She's not goin' down unless she's goin' down in flames

'cause you can't light a match that's already on fire.

Her silhouette's a vision

As she's walkin' from the flames

In a force of raw destruction

From an early age

No one knew what happened

The night they found her cryin'

A smoky mess in a tiny orphanage

As the flames were risin' higher.

You can't light a match that's already on fire

No, you can't take it back once you've crossed that wire

She's not goin' down unless she's goin' down in flames

No, you can't light a match that's already on fire.
