Wrong way Billy, what you standing there for?
Get up, get off, get out of the door
You're playing cold music on the bar room floor
Drowned in your laughter and dead to the core
There's a dragon with matches that's loose on the town
Takes a whole pail of water just to cool him down
Cut up in sections, squirming alive
Lost to the world on that fifty-cent jive
Fireman, fireman, call off your dog
This isn't a blaze, it's just a hog in the log
There's a fire on the mountain, running around
What doesn't go up can never come down
Fire, fire on the mountain
Fire up on the mountain, there's a
Fire, fire on the mountain
Right up on the mountain there's a
Fire, fire on the mountain
Wound in barbed wire, hell I ain't sore
Only hurts when I laugh, or roll on the floor
Only hurts a little, that's what I'm told
When you drown in hot oil it can even feel cold
I know I'm in love but I can't tell you why
It feels like poison, shoot me down when I cry
There's a
Fire, fire on the mountain
Fire, fire on the mountain
Can you see the fire, fire is getting higher
Fire, fire on the mountain
How's it going, how's it going, are you coming through the
Fire, fire on the mountain
She's running around, she's coming down
Up, up, up, up, right up on the mountain there's a fire
Here she comes, here she comes
She's running down, she's coming around
There's a fire
Let me tell you
Here she comes
Gonna drink a hot water before I die
It cools me down, I ain't telling no lie
Out of the frying pan and into the fire
Over the rat trap and under the wire
My baby's in scarlet, her shackles in gray
If loves to love she's got it slated away
Put it down heavy, pick it up lean
Got to lay it down dirty and play it back clean
Fire, fire on the mountain
Right up on the mountain there's a fire
You know it's getting closer
Fire, fire on the mountain
Here she comes, here she comes
Running round, coming down
Fire, fire on the mountain
Right up on the mountain there's a
Getting higher, here she comes, here she comes
Fire, fire on the mountain
She running around, she's coming down
