"Building Fires" lyrics
"Building Fires"
Children be careful when playing with matches
Everything's dry and ready to burn, Lord, Lord
The neighbors are cooking out in the backyard
Just two doors down ain't nobody home (they're all busy)
Building fires, strong desires
We've got to be careful there's too many people
Just down the street building fires
Now smoking in bed can sure burn your house down
Specially if you're there with somebody's wife
Temptation knocks and most people answers
Just neighborly lovers unsatisfied
Building fires, strong desires
We've got to be careful there's too many people
Just down the street building fires
One, two, three, stop it's time to change partners
You go get your good thing and I'll go get mine
Temptation knocks and most people answers
Just neighborly lovers yearning for more and more
Building fires, strong desires
We've got to be careful there's too many people
Just down the street building fires
We've got to be careful there's too many people
Just down the street building fires...
