Steely Dan — Fire in the Hole

[Verse 1] 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? [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] 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 [Outro] Yeah By-by-by-by-by
