[Verse 1]
You'd better grease up
I'm coming back
Gonna catch fire
Pyromaniac
You'd better shape up
You'd better get set
Gonna burn up
In the smoke of a jet
Sparks will fly
When I finally get myself back to you, baby

[Chorus]
Sparks will fly
When I finally get myself back to you baby
Ooh, you're gonna find out
Oh, gonna scream and shout
We're gonna pierce through this drought
Sparks will fly, yeah, sparks will fly

[Verse 2]
I'm gonna stand back
The flames are high
I better get help
Can't stop the fire
Bell's going to ring
Hear the alarms
Better tell the fire chief
To quit playing cards
Sparks will fly
When I finally get myself back on you, baby
Sparks will fly
When I finally get myself back on you, baby
Ooh, I'm gonna step on the gas
I want to get there really fast
Ooh, I wanna fuck your sweet ass
Sparks will fly
Sharks will cry
Sparks will fly

[Verse 3]
I had a good sniff around
Along old hunting grounds
But I have never found
A woman so hot

Sparks will fly
When I finally get myself back on you, baby
Sparks will fly
When I finally get myself back to you, baby
Ooh, my fingers are crossed
The time that we lost
I'm in total chaos
And sparks will fly
Sparks will fly
Oh yeah
Sparks will fly
Sparks will fly, yeah
Sparks will fly (back on you, baby)
Sparks will fly (sparks will fly)
Come on, come on (sparks will fly)
Come on, come on, come on, come on (sparks will fly)
Oh yeah, sparks will fly, oh yeah

Formed in London in 1962, The Rolling Stones led the “British Invasion” along with The Beatles and were so successful their influence can be seen in arguably every rock ‘n’ roll band that followed.

Three of the current members have been there since the band’s singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards, who write the majority of the band’s catalogue and also produced some albums as The Glimmer Twins; and drummer Charlie Watts. The fourth official member is guitarist Ronnie Wood, who has been there since 1975 (the keyboardist and bassist who play in studio and live are usually not listed). The Stones have released more than 20 studio albums, and even as age caught up on them, continued to be a huge attraction on the live circuit, with big stadium tours continuing through the 1990s, 2000s and into the 2010s.
