Well I've seen you at Sarah's hardware store
Buying long matches, two feet or more so
You don't have to get too close to
The thing that might bite and burn you, dear
Well I've seen you at Mary's nursery
Picking up all her sticks and trees and
Hauling it home in Abby's trailer
Building a fire we would savor, dear
Oh you're so good with gasoline
I've never seen a lie burn so clean
Now that I've gone up in flames
You've found a new friend, ohhh
You said you worked for city safety,
Putting out fires when things get nasty and
Scooping up girls, young and helpless,
Laying then down in smoking dress oh dear
Well I've seen you drive the big red truck just
Barrel thorugh 'cause it's all luck that
You don't get stopped at any red lights
There's no red tape in your sights oh dear
Oh you're so good with gasoline
I've never seen a lie burn so clean
Now that I've gone up in flames
You've found a new friend, ohhh
You've found a new friend
What happens when wind starts blowing?
Flame spreads and all are knowing of
House calls and late night fire fighting
And your face gets pasted on the
Front page as local con and
Lands on the front steps of the city
Well you thought fire could keep you sitting pretty
