Brimstone and fire
Brimstone and fire
Brimstone and fire

I met a woman at the laundry mat
She left her sock in my dryer
I met a woman in a yellow cap
It said brimstone and fire

I said is this luck?
With just a glance
She smiled, and I thought
Is this a sign?
From above or below?.. oh now..

Brimstone and fire
Brimstone and fire
Brimstone and fire

The next week at the cinema
She put her hand on my shoulder
She almost kissed me walking home
And I didn't even scold her
Then I said where is this leading
With just a heavy sigh
I quickened my pace
She was following
As if her heart would never tire

Brimstone and fire
Brimstone and fire
As if her heart would never tire
Brimstone and fire
Brimstone and fire
Brimstone and fire

Now we have dinner every saturday
I make spaghetti, she brings cake
I make spaghetti with tomato sauce
Because that's all I can make
And when she lights the candles
I think, here we go
But it's so pleasant after all
And I say very low
Don't forget to light the fire

Brimstone and fire
Brimstone and fire
Brimstone and fire
And i say don't forget to light the fire
Brimstone and fire
Brimstone and fire
Brimstone and fire

An 80’s pop starlet that skyrocketed her way to the top of the mainstream game, Cyndi Lauper has made her mark as an artist both socially and musically.

Beginning her solo career in the 1983 with hit debut album She’s So Unusual, Lauper came to be a household name with the four top-five hits that came with the record, including breakthrough single “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” and the visceral, chart-topping “Time After Time”. Her camp attitude, electrifying vocals, and unrelenting earworms made an impression on the general public, and she would take home Best New Artist and Best Album Package at the Grammy’s for She’s So Unusual, amidst 4 other nominations. Lauper would never reach the same sort of stardom again musically following She’s So Unusual, but her legacy was far from over.

She’s So Unusual set the ground for her next True Colors. Released in 1986, the album most notably contained title-track “True Colors”, which would grow to become a primary anthem of the gay rights movement. Lauper would later serve as a key advocate of the LGBT community, and she has fairly consistently addressed homophobia throughout her career.
