Love is a burning thing
and it makes a firery ring
bound by wild desire
I fell in to a ring of fire…
I fell in to a burning ring of fire
I 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 our’s meet
I fell for you like a child
oh, but the fire went wild.
I fell in to a burning ring of fire…
I was lucky and saw them in 1982 at UC San Diego. I was in the Marines and went to see them and Missing Persons. It was in a basketball gym and the stage was about 6 inches high. They got the crowd going wild, and then when Missing Persons came on, it was almost a riot, and the cops came at the end and shut it down because of the mayhem. they sprayed everyone with tear gas and it was awesome. But Wall of Voodoo was unbelievable , and after the Marines I started a punk band , partially because of seeing those guys
