This house is on fire!
Well, kick off your boots, come and sit a spell, listen to my worry, come and listen well. All you better best come and lean in boys, I don´t dare to raise my voice. I´ve been sitting here for the longest time reading all the warning and the danger signs.
But, I don´t have the gift of the prophesy, telling everybody how it´s gonna be.
Soon come, soon come the day this tinderbox is gonna blow in your face.
But, I don´t have the gift of the prophesy, telling everybody how it´s gonna 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 and evil blaze and burn higher.
But, I don´t have the gift of the prophesy, telling everybody how it´s gonna be. You go passing wrong for right and write for wrong, people only stand for that for just so long. But, I don´t have the gift of the prophesy, telling everybody how it´s gonna be. There´s a wild fire catching in the whip of the wind that could start a conflagration like there has never been.
