Fire In The Basement

FIRE IN THE BASEMENT (Blackmore/Glover/Turner/Lord/Paice)

 

 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.

 

 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.

 

 Fire in the basement

 Burn me up, scream and shout

 Fire in the basement

 Only you can put it out.

 

 Fire in the basement

 Burn me up, scream and shout

 Fire in the basement

 Only you can put it out.
