I love to see you free and dancing
You are my angel and my plaything
You move in ways that set my heart ablaze
It's you who puts my soul in ecstasy
You are my angel and my plaything
Your motion I find so entrancing
Shall I stand next to your fire ?
Smoke rings rise higher and higher
You are my angel and my plaything
If I'm your rose, you are my sun and rain
And the northern lights will shine again and again
If I'm your rose, you are my sun and rain
In the heat of the night, in the light of the day, as is given can also be taken away
In the heat of the night, in the light of the day, I remove anything that can stand in our way
I'll move in ways that set your heart ablaze
If I'm your rose, you are my sun and rain
And the northern lights will shine again and again
If I'm your rose, you are my sun and rain
And the northern lights will shine again and again
If I'm your rose, you are my sun and rain

Details:
Discernible influences on Northern Lights (a strain of cannabis) include 'Teardrop' by Massive Attack, and 'Lucky Star' by Madonna, in which she expresses her affection for someone by comparing them to a celestial body ("You must be my lucky star. 'cause you shine on me wherever you are... Come on, shine your heavenly body tonight"). The lyric, "Shall I stand next to your fire ?" derives from the chorus line of 'Fire', by The Jimi Hendrix Experience (Another Hendrix track, 'Killing Floor', is referenced on Hear No See No Speak No). The intro and outro of Northern Lights samples the flickering light in Leon's bathroom, from Ridley Scott's 'Blade Runner' (1982).
