Fire In The Hole - Steely Dan

I decline to walk the line;

they tell me that I’m lazy

Worldly wise I realise that everybody’s crazy

A womans voice reminds me to serve and not to speak

Am I myself or just another freak

You know there’s fire in the hole and nothing left to burn

I’d love 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 or 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 love to run out now;

there’s nowhere left to turn

Solo

Chorus
