House on Fire Lyrics

(Steve Walsh / Steve Morse / Bob Ezrin / Phil Ehart)

She strides down 7th street

Smokey night - summer heat

Commotion - concrete fires

Where neon souls are burning

His whole life - a hung jury

She was the crime - Wheel's gonna pay

She's got blue steel; cocked and locked

She is Justice - Justice is burning

She's turning the tables upside down

She's like a flame; she's burning higher

She's like a house on fire - House on fire

Wheel feels lucky - drinkin' blind

One track mind - sheer distraction

Steps on cracks, breakin' backs

Nothin's sacred on the other side

He turns left - she turns right

They both step through the veil of night

Cold blue steel reflection

And Wheel's got nowhere to hide

She's turning the tables upside down

She's like a flame; she's burning higher

She's like a house on fire - House on fire

Players of passion playing with fire

Streetlights are flashing but who are they for

Fisted love fueling fantasy

Is love worth the fire he's asking for
