Fireman
Fireman
I didn't expect to see you again
The fever burning hatred in flames
I guess we just keep playing these games

Hush now baby, don't you cry
Momma gonna build you a great big fire
And if that fire can't melt your bones
You won't be smoking all alone

It's the fireman
A heat haze summer falls all over this land
The dry roots crackle, smoldering sun
Now you got to suffer for everyone

(Smoulder
Thinking about the fireman
Fireman
Delilah
Delilah
Delilah)
Hush now baby don't you weep
Daddy gonna get you well away from this heat
And if the heat still singe your hair
There's just one man who can take you there

And if that man has turned to ash
Daddy gonna change things with the lure of cash
And if that money can't soothe your burns
There's just one man who can make you learn

It's the fireman
I didn't expect to see you again
The fever burning hatred in flames
I guess we just keep playing these games

(Fireman, fireman...)

Fireplace, fireside
Fire when you see the whites of their eyes (it's the fireman)
Fire ahead, fire below
Fire such-and-such and so-and-so (it's the fireman)
Firewood, firewheel
Fire extinguished, fire and steel (it's the fireman)
Fire a shot when you need to feel
Fire one up for after the meal (it's the fireman)
