lyrics
There’s a sign out in the yard saying stay the hell away.
All who wander may be shot if they come on the wrong day.
No solicitors, inquirers or lovers welcomed here.
If you value what you’ve got, you best keep far away from here.
There’s a dog tied to the tree that’s been waiting for a chance.
He’s been counting down the days til it’s finally time to dance.
If you think you’ve got a shot and you somehow make it through
That angry fed up mutt’s got nothing on what I will do to you.
You’re playing with the fire now
You better run away
You’re playing with the fire now
There will be no escape
If the demon comes to burn it down
To burn it all away
I’ll burn it all away
There’s a switch that mutes the heart, pumping rage into the head.
And the moment that it flips all these eyes will see is red.
Every inch of earth is scorched, every foot of bridge is burned
Until it’s absolutely certain that your lesson will be learned.
There’s a sign out in the yard saying stay the hell away.
All who wander may be shot if they come on the wrong day.
No solicitors, inquirers or lovers welcomed here.
If you value what you’ve got you best keep far away from here.
You’re playing with the fire now
You better run away
You’re playing with the fire now
There will be no escape
If the demon comes to burn it down
To burn it all away
I’ll burn it all away
All who wander may be shot if they come on the wrong day.
No solicitors, inquirers or lovers welcomed here.
If you value what you’ve got, you best keep far away from here.
There’s a dog tied to the tree that’s been waiting for a chance.
He’s been counting down the days til it’s finally time to dance.
If you think you’ve got a shot and you somehow make it through
That angry fed up mutt’s got nothing on what I will do to you.
You’re playing with the fire now
You better run away
You’re playing with the fire now
There will be no escape
If the demon comes to burn it down
To burn it all away
I’ll burn it all away
There’s a switch that mutes the heart, pumping rage into the head.
And the moment that it flips all these eyes will see is red.
Every inch of earth is scorched, every foot of bridge is burned
Until it’s absolutely certain that your lesson will be learned.
There’s a sign out in the yard saying stay the hell away.
All who wander may be shot if they come on the wrong day.
No solicitors, inquirers or lovers welcomed here.
If you value what you’ve got you best keep far away from here.
You’re playing with the fire now
You better run away
You’re playing with the fire now
There will be no escape
If the demon comes to burn it down
To burn it all away
I’ll burn it all away
