COMBUSTION
Carried your picture with me
Halfway round the world,
Just can't run from the memory
There'll never be another girl,
It's on fire
Isn't that combustion
Isn’t that combustion…

Could've been a hundred years ago
Or half an hour just today
Just can't run from the shadow
It's a bitch how it seems to stay
It's on fire
Isn't that combustion
Isn’t that combustion…

If ever I ever I ever I ever I try again
Wouldn't take me so long
Wouldn't take too long
If ever I'd ever I'd ever I'd ever I'd cry again
Honey, take me too long
Where you been so long
Burnin’, flame come higher
Burnin', got a sweet soul tryer
Burnin', mmmmmmm...
Burnin', got a flame comin' higher,
Burnin', got a sweet soul tryer,
Burnin', show me 'bout fire...

Carried your picture with me
Halfway around the world,
Just can't run from the shadow
Never be another girl,
It's on fire,
Isn't that combustion...
It’s on fire
Isn’t that combustion…
Isn’t that combustion…
Combustion...burnin' me up...
Its’s Combustion...got a flame goin’ higher...
Combustion...
Ah takin’ me, takin’ me, take me for a ride
Combustion…
