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?
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, no, no
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
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
