With hints of ENNIO MORRICONE and QUENTIN TARRANTINO, Los Angeles #electroswing producer ATOM SMITH drops the title track from his new album PLAYING WITH FIRE out now... idol-io.ffm.to...
Featuring the same band as the hit single and video COMIN' UP SWINGING ( • Atom Smith ft. Miss Em... ) including Burlesque impresario MISS EMMMA on vocals (fresh from her show DESPERADOS), this video is a tribute to the American Wild West complete with a subtle John Wayne cameo (blink and you'll miss it), twangy guitars, cowboy hats, campfire deserts, vintage motorcycles and a hideaway ranch! We hope you have as much fun watching it as we had making it!
Be sure to check out the album here: idol-io.ffm.to...

LYRICS:
Well, I don't know, but I've been told
The day you slow down is the day you get old
And I've been riding around that track
Never slow down and I never look back
Cuz way out west is where I want to be
The open road and the Joshua tree
I make my bed beneath the stars
Shoot out the lights in the local bars
Before I die, they say I'll break
But I try to give more than I take
I come and go like the rodeo
That's how it is when you ride with the show
Catch me if you can
Try to be my lover man
But you must understand
If loving me is your heart's desire
Oh, baby - you're playing with fire
Well, I don't know but I've been told
If you wanna get rich you gotta sell your soul
And I've been finding that that's a fact
When I eat the rich it's barely a snack
I spend my time down on their knees
And I spend their money whenever I please
You see a real man's waiting around the bend
Who could be my lover and could be my friend?
He'll live on my empire of dirt
A fence to build against the pain and hurt
He'll come and go like the rodeo
But we'll die for love by the end of the show
Catch me if you can
Try to be my lover man
But you must understand
If loving me is your heart's desire
Oh, baby
Catch me if you can
Try to be my lover man
But you must understand
If loving me is your heart's desire
Oh, baby - you're playing with fire
A life of love is not in vain
Can't get enough of the joy and pain
It comes and goes like the rodeos
And where we end up well nobody knows
Catch me if you can
Try to be my lover man
But you must understand
If loving me is your heart's desire
Oh, baby
Catch me if you can
But you must understand
You're playing with fire
