lyrics

Picture yourself in my fire
Picture yourself in my kiss
Picture me laying beside you
Picture me taking your breath

And the flames are licking at your body
You bring to me
Honey, we're primitive
Let me come to you

Hey, yeah yeah

You say the world has gone crazy
You say you're up all night
And there's a demon who's raging
And we have brought him to light

And the flames are tugging at your disguise
You can't deny
Honey we're primitive
Let the siren through

And hides a monster in everybody's
Civilized human heart
And the beating drum will tear the two apart

Primitive, like an ancient tribe
-You say the world has gone crazy
-And that you're up all night
And it's fire that's burning in our eyes
Primitive, like a mystic rhyme
-You say the demon is raging
-And we have brought it to light
And the drum beat will guide us through the night
Primitive

Come listen, listen if you want to
Come listen, listen if you want
Come listen, listen if you want to
Come listen, listen if you want
