This House Is On Fire

This house is on fire!

Kick off your boots, come 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 the danger signs

I don't have the gift of the prophecy,

Telling everybody how it's going to be

Soon come, soon come the day this tinderbox

Is gonna blow in your face

I don't have the gift of the prophesy,

Telling everybody how it's going to 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 the prophesy, Telling everybody how it's going to 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 the prophesy,

Telling everybody how it's going to 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!
