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
(Chorus)
I've stepped right into a housefire You mix fear and desire I know I could tire of getting burned
House-housefire (x2)
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
(Bridge)
House-housefire (x4)
(chorus)
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
