fire in the basement

i came 'round to your front door

your back door was locked

pushed your button

rang your bell

you didn't hear me knock

i saw your window open wide

so i crawled inside

i ran to the top floor

but you were on the ground

i was on my way up and you were going down

fire in the basement

burn me up

scream and shout

there's fire in the basement

only you can put it out

this strange sensation that i'm going through

sweet infatuation when i get next to you

i know what it takes to be a man

you understand

'cause when the sparks start flying you'll never be the same

you know i'll hate to leave you girl but i'm so glad i came

fire in the basement

burn me up

scream and shout

fire in the basement

only you can put it out

smoky eyes burning bright

innocence lost

satisfy my appetite

surrender to the flame

what's your name

let's get down to business

how can you refuse

give this boy a helping hand

come on light my fuse
