Lyrics Steely Dan - Fire In The Hole

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

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

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

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
