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
