This house is on fire!
Kick off your boots, come and sit a spell.
Listen to me worry, come and listen well.
All you better best come and lean in boys.
I don't dare raise my voice.
I've been sitting here for the longest time
reading all the warning and danger signs.
I don't have the gift of prophesy,
telling everybody how it's gonna be.
Soon come, soon come the day
this tinderbox is gonna blow in your face.
I don't have the gift of prophesy,
telling everybody how it's gonna be.
You go passing wrong for right and right for wrong,
people only stand for that for just so long.
It's all gonna catch like a house on fire,
spark an evil blaze and burn higher.
Well, I don't have the gift of phophesy,
telling everybody how it's gonna be.
You go passing wrong for right and right for wrong,
people only stand for that for just so long.
I don't have the gift of prophesy,
telling everybody how it's gonna be.
There's a wild fire catching in the whip of the wind
that could start a conflagration like there has never been.
This house is on fire!
