lyrics

Well my baby sets fires of destruction
And my baby sets fires of repair
And sometimes she makes sparks just to chase out the dark
She's a firebug, baby, I swear

There ain't no easy way to explain it
No one knows how she ended up there
Scaring off weaker folk from the city of smoke
She's a firebug, baby, I swear

There's a spirit in there, or there used to be
Back before she was so misbehaved
There's a fortune in there, or there's supposed to be
She's just burning and yearns to be saved

She sets fires sometimes accidentally
She sets fires when no one else cares
She gets desperate and cold, but her tactics are bold
She's a firebug, baby, I swear
