Where "Sticking metal things in plugs" can't be good.
 
Love is a burning thing,
And it makes a fire ring.
Bound by wild desire,
I fell into a ring of fire.
Went down down down and the flames went higher,
And it burns burns burns, the ring of fire.
The ring of fire.
The taste of love is sweet,
When hearts like ours meet.
I fell for you like a child.
Oh, but the fire went wild.
I fell into a burning ring of fire.
Went down down down and the flames went higher,
And it burns burns burns, the fing of fire.
The ring of fire.
I fell into a burning ring of fire.
Went down down down and the flames went higher.
and it burns burns burns, the ring of fire.
The ring of fire.
