My lifeguard lover doesn’t want a ring
My lifeguard lover doesn’t want a ring
She doesn’t want to mess with our good thing
My lifeguard lover doesn’t want a ring

The boys in the breakers marvel at her skills
The boys in the breakers marvel at her skills
She walks out on the edge, undressed to kill
Yeah, The boys in the breakers marvel at her skills

She’s got her own wavelength, broadcasts every night
Yes, She’s got her own wavelength, broadcasts every night
And the tunes she saves for me are out of sight
Yeah, She’s got her own wavelength, broadcasts every night

My lifeguard lover doesn’t want a ring
My lifeguard lover doesn’t want a ring
She doesn’t want to mess with our good thing
My lifeguard lover doesn’t want a ring

In my room the walls surround
A quiet man who longs to be found again

Time and time I think of you
But you’re the past and you won’t do today

Someone new is what I lack
The world grows heavy on my back

Be patient, be easy, be calm

Strength will come and dwell with you, my friend
Don’t fly quickly, blindly to your end
Love will open up your eyes again

Be patient, be easy, be calm
Be patient, be easy, be calm

Well they say she breathes fire and she sleeps on a bed of coals
And she’ll douse you with desire, then she’ll fricassee your soul
If you’re talkin’ ‘bout passion, she’s the undisputed queen
And she goes by the name of Acetylene

Acetylene’s a girl that I once knew
She helped me with some things that I was goin’ through
That girl knew exactly what to do
Yeah, Acetylene

I met her in a place down on Bourbon Street
She came up close and I could feel the heat
She said “Baby, do ya wanna go?”, And I said “Yeah”
Yeah, Acetylene

She’s hotter than a pistol on the fourth of July
She’ll set your pulse to racin’ and your fever sky-high
She’s the fastest thing that your money can buy
But don’t talk to her about love ‘cause she’s bound to hate it
She won’t break your heart, she’ll incinerate it

She burned me down to the ground
And then she left me like I’d been struck dumb
She’s the kind of lover that you’ll never recover from

Well they say she breathes fire and she sleeps on a bed of coals
And she’ll douse you with desire, then she’ll fricassee your soul
If you’re talkin’ ‘bout passion, she’s the undisputed queen
And she goes by the name of Acetylene

Acetylene
Acetylene
She goes by the name
Of Acetylene
