Eddie & The Cruisers Runnin' Through The Fire Lyrics

I got smokestack lightnin’
Runnin’ through my veins
Trouble hangin’ ‘round my neck
It’s like a ball and chain

Gotta be more than this to bein’ alive
Every day spittin’ out nine to five
Every night runnin’ all over this town
Comin’ home feelin’ no pain

I got a hunger and a cold desire
Someday it’s gonna take me higher
Just another small flame
Just runnin’ through the fire
Just another small flame
Just runnin’ through the fire

Runnin’ through the fire
Baby it’s gonna get hot
Runnin’ through the fire
Honey if you’re ready or not
Runnin’ through the fire
Honey no way you turn
Runnin’ through the fire
Baby you’re gonna get burned

I’m rollin’ down the alleyway
Headin’ for the neon lights
I got a soul full of strugglin’
Need a little mercy tonight

This world’s askin’ just a little too much
Honey I need a lovin’ tender touch
Just move your body close to mine
Make everything all right
I got a hunger and a cold desire
Someday it’s gonna take me higher
Just another small flame
Just runnin’ through the fire
Just another small flame
Just runnin’ through the fire

Runnin’ through the fire
Baby it’s gonna get hot
Runnin’ through the fire
Honey if you’re ready or not
Runnin’ through the fire
Baby no way you turn
Runnin’ through the fire
Baby you’re gonna get burned

Runnin’ through the fire
Baby it’s gonna get hot
Runnin’ through the fire
Honey if you’re ready or not
Runnin’ through the fire
Baby no way you turn
Runnin’ through the fire
Baby you’re gonna get burned

Runnin’ through the fire
Baby it’s gonna get hot
Runnin’ through the fire
Honey if you’re ready or not
Runnin’ through the fire
Baby no way you turn
Runnin’ through the fire
Baby you’re gonna get burned
