Fire

Smells like something's burning
The kitchen is on fire
I didn't leave the oven on
You're calling me a liar?
Flames are in the attic
Everything is charred
All my water-logged shit
Is laying in the yard
Smells like something's burning
It's smelled that way before
Something's always flaming
In this neighborhood I'm sure
Everything changes so fast
You never know
Only ashes remain
Of everything I own
Smells like something's burning
It smells like burning shit
Something's always stinking
Now that I think of it
It stinks to be you, my dear
Stinks to be me, too
Gonna burn your playhouse down
If it's the last thing I do
People always seem to destroy what they love
Them big old brains steer us wrong
When push comes to shove
Now I'm standing here
With the matches all lit
Hoping that my sheepish grin
Will get me out of it
Smells like something's burning
The red-hot coals of hell
Give 'em something to talk about
The stories they will tell
'Bout how he was a good man
And how far he fell
But you'll know I'm coming by the smell
Don't call the fire department
This town's done burned down
Flashing embers burning through
Burning walls of sound
Brothers like to fight
But I won't be found
Ashes blowing in the breeze
No one else around
Smells like something's burning
