Fire Lyrics

[Verse 1: Tom]
Shake me into the night
I'm an easy lover
Take me into the fight
I'm an easy brother
I'm on fire

[Verse 2: Tom]
Burn my sweet effigy
I'm a road runner

Spill my guts on a wheel
I wanna taste, uh-huh
I'm on fire
I'm on fire

[Chorus: Tom & Sergio]
And I'm on fire
I'm going
You tell me
I feel it, I say
I'm heading back into the tunnel for my soul to burn

And I'm on fire
I'm coming, You coming
No hiding my feeling
I wanna take it to the highest over me, yeah

[Verse 3: Tom]
Wire me up to machines
I'll be your prisoner
Find it hard to believe
You are my murderer
I'm on fire
Look behind you, there's the falling sky

[Chorus: Tom & Sergio]
And I'm on fire
I'm going
You tell me
I feel it, I say
I'm heading back into the tunnel for my soul to burn


[Outro: Tom & Sergio]
And I'm on fire
I'm on fire
Move on
You got to move on
You got to hit 'em to the hip
And get your shake on
Move on
You got to move on
You got to hit 'em to the hip
And get your shake on
I feel it, I want it
I'm coming, I tell ya
I caught the bullet from the heavens to the one you serve
I'm going
I'm running
Out to the highest love
I'm wanna hit you to the hip

I'm on fire
Move on
You got to move on
You got to hit 'em to the hip
And get your shake on

I'm on fire
Move on
You got to move on
You got to hit 'em to the hip
And get your shake on

What did Kasabian say about "Fire"?
Genius Answer

“It’s like a fight between two bands. You’ve got this trippy voodoo band and then this New York disco band for the chorus. Fire was just trying to combine rock'n'roll with dance music. The way you get that euphoric feeling standing in a field when you know the beat’s gonna kick back in and your whole body rushes, but done in a rock'n'roll way instead of using synths. Nobody’s picked up on it but the ‘Uh-huh’ in Fire is Elvis. In fact, I think Tom’s the first person to have the balls to sing like that since Elvis. The funny thing is when we told our label we wanted it to be the first main single off the album they weren’t sure about it. It ended up being our biggest hit [Number 3, June 2009]. Leicester City have just started using it as their goal celebration music. I was nervous that it’d jinx their chances but the first match we beat Barnsley 1-0.”
