Hoop of Fire Lyrics

Hoop Of Fire

John/Taupin

Album Leather Jackets 1986

You say
That all you want
Are the simple things
Long walks
On lonely beaches,
Guitars with nylon strings
But underneath
You'd rather leave through a hoop of fire

You shy away
From lips that want
That want to kiss you
Tongue-tied
On formal evenings
Wealth don't impress you
But if you sake me
You like the heat in a hoop of fire

And it's hard to read just how you feel
Or what your dreams desire
Your pulse that races when I'm close
Reads like a hoop of fire
Your pulse that races when I'm close
Reads like a hoop of fire

No late nights
Making love in
Secret places
You feel pressure
All around you
Mistrust in strangers' faces
But don't pretend
You wouldn't spend sometime
In a hoop of fire

And it's hard to read just how you feel
Or what your dreams desire
Your pulse that races when I'm close
Reads like a hoop of fire
Your pulse that races when I'm close
Reads like a hoop of fire

But don't pretend
You wouldn't spend sometime
In a hoop of fire

And it's hard to read just how you feel
Or what your dreams desire
Your pulse that races when I'm close
Reads like a hoop of fire
Your pulse that races when I'm close
Reads like a hoop of fire
