Serafina - BAMBARA

[00:29.077][Verse 1]Sadie saw smoke curling up from the trees
[00:32.191]Put on her coat and went outside to see
[00:34.563]A girl was feeding leaves and branches
[00:37.174]To a pile of burning debris and dancing
[00:39.773]Sadie said, "Got a nice fire tonight
[00:42.120]What's your name, if you don't mind?"
[00:44.983]She said, "My name is Serafina
[00:47.081]But people call me Sera to save some time"
[00:50.215]"Well, I got all the time in the world"
[00:52.566]Sadie grabbed a stick and lit it while the girl
[00:55.186]Said she'd been committed as a child
[00:57.784]Discovered her love for fire, ran wildIn the asylum was a charming arson
[01:03.553]Who broke out with his girl and started
[01:06.162]Burning through Georgia like a moonstruck Sherman
[01:08.748]Sera knew what she wanted for sure then"
[01:11.551]People are who they are," she said"And I want their kind of love
[01:15.703]Where you're bad together and it's good"
[01:17.796]Sadie said, "Let me grab some wood and booze
[01:20.674]See if we can't keep this thing alive 'til noon"
[01:23.020][Chorus](Serafina)
[01:25.627]Shoots Roman candles all around
[01:28.482](Serafina)
[01:30.846]Smiling with matches in her mouth
[01:33.751](Serafina)
[01:36.106]Wears a bright, blazing crown of flowers and down
[01:41.598](Serafina)
[01:44.214]Smell of gasoline in her hair
[01:47.077](Serafina)
[01:49.417]Cinders glow as she blows cool air
[01:52.520](Serafina)
[01:54.877]In her stare burns a solar flare
[02:07.431][Verse 2]Months went by and they were happy
[02:09.785]Setting fire to trashed mattresses
[02:12.374]Cars with tickets on their dashes
[02:14.975]Mannequins scattered in tattered masses
[02:17.580]Through the rundown mall
[02:19.405]They'd take pictures for their book
[02:21.760]Rubbing the ash and the soot
[02:23.836]On each other's skin 'til it turned gray
[02:26.186]And pose like dying lovers from PompeiiIn an overgrown lot
[02:31.667]They ****ed 'til it got too hot
[02:33.775]Lying on top of a burning blanket
[02:36.385]They hopped up and stood there naked
[02:39.516]Smoking cigarettes and coughing
[02:41.867]Sera threw her lighter in, heard it popping"
[02:44.482]We gotta keep it up, Sadie, no stopping
[02:47.078]We gotta keep it up, Sadie, we're not stopping"
[02:50.212]They watched as the wind caught
[02:52.313]The fire spread a little further and died off
[02:55.180]Sadie said, "I'm gonna buy us an old house in a big town
[02:58.852]Where we can start a life and burn it all to the ground"
[03:01.964][Chorus](Serafina)
[03:04.058]Shoots Roman candles all around
[03:06.942](Serafina)
[03:09.301]Smiling with matches in her mouth
[03:12.173](Serafina)
[03:15.044]Wears a bright, blazing crown of flowers and down
[03:20.256](Serafina)
[03:22.875]Throws firecrackers at their feet
[03:25.464](Serafina)
[03:28.074]Yeah, and they start dancing, dancing while they sing
[03:30.940](Serafina)
[03:33.267]Throws her dress in the flames
[03:36.353](Serafina)
[03:37.641]Black sequins writhing, black sequins shine
[03:41.809](Serafina)
[03:43.627]They sing, "We'll never die"
[03:46.752](Serafina)
[03:48.835]"Yeah, we'll burn and cry, we'll never die"
