Fire In The Hole

Lyrics

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
