Beat Happening - Bonfire Lyrics

Drums along the beach at night keep pacing...
Drum stop heart and start the rites of mating...
What's it gonna be? (Bonfire...)
Is it him or me? (Bonfire...)
Keep throwing the wood on 'til one is gone...

Bonfire, flames reach higher
Drum beat crying, embers dying
Bonfire, oh, bonfire...

Broken line and ever-endless waiting...
Blood and sinew pull away past fating...
Who's it gonna be? (Bonfire...)
A boy like him or me? (Bonfire...)
Keep beating the drums until one is gone...

Bonfire, bonfire, bonfire, oh, bonfire
There's two bid to be hers, (Bonfire...)
But only one can serve. (Bonfire...)
Bonfire, oh, bonfire...

Sweat and smoke and watch the embers glow
My heart starts beating faster now, I know
She made up her mind like that
She's dressed like a jungle cat
Now this jaguar queen will be my own...

Bonfire, flames reach higher
Drum beat crying, embers dying
Bonfire, oh, bonfire...
Bonfire, oh, bonfire...

Oh... bonfire....
