Playing with Fire Lyrics

(Playing with fire...)

What is this misery called life?
What are these days filled up with strife?
What are these words way sharper than a switchblade knife?
So hard to find a way to cope
So hard to find a shred of hope
Too hard to justify life for a misanthrope

You're my desire
Take me higher and higher...
Playing with fire (playing)
Strung out, high and wired, oh... oh...

What is this feeling on my mind?
I crave for something undefined
An addiction's curse devours my peace of mind
What is this life that I forsake?
I drift along in its wake
And when I left you there, what did I undertake...
What did I undertake?

You're my desire
Take me higher and higher...
Playing with fire (playing)
Strung out, high and wired, oh... oh...

Mon désir se fait troublant
Jouons avec le feu
Conduis-moi au firmament
Quels qu'en soient les enjeux

[Translation:
My desire is unsettling
Playing with fire
Guide me to the firmament
Regardless of the stakes]

Are you playing with the fire? (Are you?)
Can't you see the flames grow higher?
Are you still high and wired? (Are you?)
Are you burning with desire?
Are you up against addiction? (Are you?)
Are you conquered by affliction?
Is your life thy infliction? (Is it?)
Say your final benediction

(Playing with fire)
You're my desire
Take me higher and higher...
Playing with fire (playing)
Strung out, high and wired, oh... oh...

(Playing with fire...)
