Kiss me like a Catherine Wheel
One of us is out of touch
And one of us is out of time
But I wanna tell you how I feel
Something 'bout the way
You spin around and say

"Kiss me like a Catherine Wheel"
You tropical electric storm
Oh, I could never keep you warm
And I could never keep it real
And I didn't think at all
I didn't feel the fall

So, kiss me like a Catherine Wheel
And love me like a Roman Candle
And all the seconds that we steal
Oh, they were much too hot to handle
And I can really feel the flood
This champagne tastes a lot like blood
And I do not know how I'm gonna heal
I know how fire works, but I still
Let you kiss me like a Catherine Wheel

Kiss me like a Catherine Wheel
Kiss me like we're gonna die
Oh, kiss me every kiss, goodbye
But I've got to tell you how I feel
Like everything is sugar, baby
Everything is doom
And everything was simple when I had you in my room

And I knew it was gonna burn
And I feel it every time you turn
And I do not know how I'm gonna heal
I know how fire works, but I still
Let you kiss me like a Catherine Wheel
I know how fire works, but I'd still
Let you kiss me like a Catherine Wheel
