And I said I know it well That secret that you knew but don’t know how to tell It fucks with your honor and it teases your head But you know that it’s good girl ‘Cause its running you with red

If you’ve ever applied alcohol to a cut or other wound, you know it stings and burns. It doesn’t matter which type of alcohol you use – ethanol, isopropyl, and rubbing alcohol all produce the effect. The alcohol doesn’t physically burn you, but you feel the sensation because the chemical activates the same nerve receptors in your skin that let you know boiling water or a flame are hot.

Special cells called VR1 receptors fire neurochemical signals to your brain when they are exposed to heat. When the receptors are exposed to alcohol, like when you pour alcohol-based disinfectant onto an open cut, the alcohol molecule lowers the temperature threshold required to send this signal.
