Fire In The Hole
Steely Dan
Letra

Álbum: Can’t Buy a Thrill ( 1972)

I decline 
To walk the line 
They tell me that I'm lazy 
Worldly wise 
I realize 
That everybody's crazy 
A woman's voice reminds me 
To serve and not to speak 
Am I myself or just another freak 
Don't you know 
There's fire in the hole 
And nothing left to burn 
I'd like to run out now 
There's nowhere left to turn 
With a cough 
I shake it off 
And work around my yellow stripe 
Should I hide 
And eat my pride 
Or wait until it's good and ripe 
My life is boiling over 
It's happened once before 
I wish someone would open up the door 
Don't you know 
There's fire in the hole 
And nothing left to burn 
I'd like to run out now 
There's nowhere left to turn
