I used to hear him talking through the walls in the night
The man was not alright
His mind was ringing tighter than a drum
He could never tip the scales his way
He never made the grade
The regiment fire brigade would take all day
Always there when the sirens wailed
The flames were reaching higher
Cheap thrill and a chance to kill
He'll turn your house into a funeral pyre
Don't trust him he's a dangerous man
The flames feed his desire
He's done it before, he'll do it again
He'll set your house on fire
He used to stand sentry at the caravan door
And gripped by delusion's claw
Paranoia would drag him straight through the pub door
No surprise if the binges went on and on
He drank 'til the money was gone
Throw them back as the deeds came on strong
Always there when the sirens wailed
The flames were reaching higher
Cheap thrill and a chance to kill
He'll turn your house into a funeral pyre
Don't trust him he's a dangerous man
The flames feed his desire
He's done it before, he'll do it again
He'll set your house on fire
He ran round the village banging on doors
There's something about the air on the moors
Lost in the drink and yelling out "fire"
Waking up half of Devonshire
Always there when the sirens wailed
The flames were reaching higher
Cheap thrill and a chance to kill
He'll turn your house into a funeral pyre
Don't trust him he's a dangerous man
The flames feed his desire
He's done it before, he'll do it again
He'll set your house on
Don't trust him he's a dangerous man
The flames feed his desire
He's done it before, he'll do it again
He'll set your house on fire
