Description

The city has not yet awakened, but somewhere in its twilight, the air is already melting. Everything trembles - from breathing, from fingers, from that strange heat that depends neither on the weather nor on the time of day. There is no place for words here, only the ragged rhythm of the heart, quiet laughter, and electricity under the skin.

It sounds like the moment when the world shrinks to two people and one pulse for two. It's rough, animalistic, but there's a sacredness to it - the kind that lives between the light of a lantern and the first breath of morning air. Everything around may be burning, but that's why it's not scary. After all, if you're going to burn, you might as well burn to the end.

Lyrics and translation

Original

Lay where you're laying

Don't make a sound

I know they're watching

They're watching

All the commotion

The kiddie-like play

Has people talking

Talking

Ooh-ooh

Your sex is on fire

Ooh-ooh

Your sex is on fire

The dark of the alley

The breaking of day

Head while I'm driving

I'm driving

Soft lips are open

Them knuckles are pale

Feels like you're dying

You're dying

Ooh-ooh

Your sex is on fire

Ooh-ooh

Your sex is on fire

Hot as a fever

Rattling bones

I could just taste it

Taste it

If it's not forever

If it's just tonight

Oh, we're the greatest

The greatest

The greatest

Ooh-ooh

Your sex is on fire

Ooh-ooh

Your sex is on fire

Ooh-ooh

Your sex is on fire

Ooh-ooh

Your sex is on fire
