It's a hard luck town, so the people say
If you place a bet, it won't go your way
As the faces stared, you caught my eye
And you seemed quite strange, and I now know why
I've stepped right into a housefire
You mix fear and desire
I know I could tire of getting burned
House-housefire
In this ghost-like town, people hardly speak
Just to hear a word, you could wait all week
But the voices in, but the heads are crying
We should both escape, cos this town is dying
I've stepped right into a housefire, you mix fear and desire
I know I could tire of getting burned
Prepare there will be a fallout, of this I'm in no doubt
I've stepped right into a housefire, I'm getting burned
House-housefire
I've stepped right into a housefire, you mix fear and desire
I know I could tire of getting burned
Prepare there will be a fallout, of this I'm in no doubt
I've stepped right into a housefire, I'm getting burned
