Brimstone and Fire lyrics

Brimstone and fire...

Brimstone and fire...

Brimstone and fire...

I met a woman at the laundry mat;

She left her sock in my dryer.

I met a woman in a yellow cap...

It said "Brimstone and Fire".

I said: 'Is this luck?'

With just a glance

She smiled, and I thought:

Is this a sign

From above or below?

Oh no!

Brimstone and fire!

Brimstone and fire!

Brimstone and fire!

The next week, at the cinema

She pur her hand on my shoulder.

She almost kissed me walking home

And I didn't even scold her!

Then I said: 'where is this leading?'

With just a heavy sigh.

I quickened my pace

And she was following

As if her heart would never tire...

Brimstone and fire!

Brimstone and fire!

As if her heart would never tire...

Brimstone and fire!

Brimstone and fire!

Brimstone and fire!

[Instrumental]

Now, we have dinner every Saturday:

I make spaghetti,

She brings cake.

I make spaghetti with tomato sauce

Because that's all I can make.

And when she lights the candles

I think: 'Here we go!'

But it's so pleasant, after all,

And I say very low:

'Don't forget to light the fire!'

Brimstone and fire!

Brimstone and fire!

And I say:

'Don't forget to light the fire!'

Brimstone and fire!

Brimstone and fire!

Brimstone and fire!
