My sexy wicked ex

We're always having sex

And she makes me start to flex

* * *

Come on sexy girl,

Show me how it's done

Let's have a little fun

Before I head into the sun

* * *

X marks the spot

That makes this hot

I'll take a shot

You're my sexy wicked ex

* * *

Against the wall

Baby, we can do it all

Take me down

On the ground

You know what I found

She's my ex

She's the best

No one can replace my wicked X

* * *

The crowd is into every single song and by mid-set, we’re having a blast. The only issue is that I’m overheating, so I motion to the guys that I want to change the set list by switching two songs. They’re pretty easy-going with stuff like this, so we slow it down, playing a ballad I wrote called “Nobody’s Lover.” It gives me a chance to cool down a bit, and I guzzle a bottle of water before I sit down at the piano. In the past, we’d used keyboards, but I wanted a real piano for this tour, and now I’m glad we made the upgrade.

Once the song is over, I get up and run backstage so I can change again while Bash does his drum solo. I feel better now, but I’m still hotter than usual.

“I’m dying,” I tell my roadie. “I need a sleeveless T. I don’t care where you get it.”

He looks startled but then calls out to Bash’s drum tech, who immediately pulls off his shirt. He’s kind of a small guy, so it’s not as big on me as it could have been. Once the shirt is on, I wiggle out of my bra, tossing it to the side, and then run back on stage.

“It’s hot in here,” I say to the crowd. “And it’s about to get hotter. Anyone ready for a raging inferno?”

“Raging Inferno” was never released as a single, but it’s insanely popular live, which is why we kept it in the set. Of course, now I have a decision to make.

The lyrics talk about going to a rage and diving off the stage.
