Lyrics:
Drive by my house late at night
You can see from the freeway above
No silhouette, but a light left on
Burning there for love
smoke is rising from the fire
Coming out my back door
I'm inside, sound asleep
Cigarette on the floor
Burning there for love
well I can still remember
A couple of years ago
When the smoke and flame called my name
It was a burning house of love
that rusty nail over our front door
Is where I hung our tears in the rain
I threw that horseshoe into the weeds
To see what luck can bring
cause you're in your bed, I'm in mine
On either side of town
I think I might take a ride
And burn your love house down
Like a burning house of love

I was introduced to X by their Hungry Wolf MTV video. 1982? They were a rare bright spot in 80s music.

This is so ridiculously rocking not sure where to begin. John Doe is a rock star for the ages. Billy Zoom on guitar: wow! Talk about a full sound ... killer tune. Iconic band.

Exene beats the S*** out of all the men in the band.

[@dlgnzls]

Just saw them a couple days ago! It was my first time seeing them, I’m an 18yr old X fan 😂 it was fun dancing with all the old heads

[@GeorgiaGrowGuy]

In 84/85 X was my world, i' just older now. I saw them so many times, the last at Uptown Lounge in Athens, Exene was so pregnant i thought her water would break on stage. She was jumping and dancing like a cheerleader. XXXXXXX

[@gregdahlen4375]

love exene's outfit

[@jonathanwoods9843]

Great band, great performance... Just greatness all around!!

[@davidoran123]

This performance still gets me fired up. 37 years later it still burns.

[@drclueful]

can't decide if it's a prom queen or a princess, but i dig her tiara

[@paulamiles9559]

Exene and John are the king and queen of the prom.

[@indiglo1971]

How about the prom FIEND from New Jack City?

I love these guys, all thanks to Pat R.

[@paulamiles9559]

❤️❤️❤️ these guys!

[@shaun57661]

This live version is so much better than the album in my opinion. And that isn't worth much to be honest. 😂

[@chriscoughlin9289]

Always thought the stripped down Knitters take was the definitive one, myself.

[@relaxinmaxin7246]

Don't they sing a song about wolves?

[@flyingburritobro68]

Hungry Wolf is a tune from their album Under The Big Black Sun

[@chriscoughlin9289]

@@flyingburritobro68 Um, yeah.... The lyrics aren't exactly Marlin Perkins 'Wild Kingdom' inspired, though.
