The House Is On Fire

I smell smoke on the holy ground

I feel the heat, somethin's comin' down

I'm barely awake in this midnight hour

Under the spell of a numbing power

I can taste flames in the scorchin' light

How I wish I was dreamin'

Wrong an' not right

How wish I was wrong, an' not right, right, right

How can I hesitate

It's gettin' harder to breathe

In the grey smoke hanging

Suffocating me

The house is on fire

The walls are alive in this red-hot blaze

Shout to the sleepers through the terminal haze

As the sparks fly up and the flames reach higher

Call me what you will but I ain't no liar

The house is on fire!
