Fire in the Hole - Walter Becker, Donald Fagen

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

Don't you know
There's fire in the hole
And nothing left to burn
I'd like 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
And 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 like to run out now
There's nowhere left to turn
