Kings Of Leon - Sex On Fire Lyrics

Artist: Kings Of Leon

Album: Only By The Night

  • Songwriters: Caleb Followill, Jared Followill, Matthew Followill, Nathan Followill

Lay where you're laying, don't make a sound
I know they're watching, they're watching
All the commotion, the kiddie like play
Has people talking, talking

You, your sex is on fire

The dark of the alley, the breaking of day
The head while I'm driving, I'm driving
Soft lips are open, knuckles are pale
Feels like you're dying, you're dying

You, your sex is on fire
Consumed with what's to transpire

Hot as a fever, rattling bones
I could just taste it, taste it
If it's not forever, if it's just tonight
Oh, it's still the greatest, the greatest, the greatest

You, your sex is on fire
And you, your sex is on fire
Consumed with what's to transpire

And you, your sex is on fire
Consumed with what's to transpire

    Im not really sure what its about or the real meaning behind it. I guess everyone can see it in different ways but all in all, it is a very good song. One of those that gets stuck in your head and you cant get out =)

    RAW! EMOTIONAL! GR8 VIBE + BEAT! This is only one in a long line of gr8 songs to come from this band! The song takes on the meaning from the listener. Why the song was written gives insight into the composer/songwriter but should not detract from your feelings the first time you heard it. The complexity and ambiguity adds layers to a song's meaning. Just listen and enjoy! =D

    It's about having in sex in public, getting a hummer in the car, BUT HERES THE KEY : its gay sex. watch the video and I'll rest my case. He has a "c*ck" in his mouth in the form of "chicken", men pulling on him, definitely gay.
