BAPTISM OF FIRE
(Carol Pope / Kevan Staples)
Rough Trade


I was sitting in the neighbourhood hangout
I just had to spill my guts out
To this stud I picked up in Soho
Said I wanna shake you til you see the truth
You know that I'm nobody's bimbo
Why don't you show some emotion
Gimme some sacred desperation
Let me feel your heart's palpitation

Baptism of fire
Pounding blood and intoxication
Gimme that soul salvation
You and I you and I

I was choking on cheap cuisine
With this trade who turns tricks in latrines
I was screaming about my lifestyle
They wanna kick you like the underdog
You know that I'm nobody's bimbo
Why don't you show some emotion
Gimme some sacred desperation
Let me feel your heart's palpitation

Baptism of fire
Pounding blood and intoxication
Soul salvation
You and I you and I
