van halen - fire in the hole lyrics

in a word to the wisdom tooth
to tell, or not the truth (yeah)
so open up and say ahh-men
rinse cup, and spit again

forked tongue in double speak
pretty soon you just might
spring a leak
inhale before you begin
your iron lung's a bag of wind

there's a fire in the hole
fire in the hole
there's a fire in the hole (hey hey hey hey hey)
fire

sweet 'n' sour, filiblister
faucet pouring, fresh 'n' bitter
come on smile and say cheese
on a count of three
ya got a mindful of decavities
hey!

chew your words, lest you choke
you better watch your mouth
wash it out with soap. yeah!
tongue tied in a tangled web
your bile inside better left unsaid

there's a fire in the hole
fire in the hole (hey hey hey hey hey)
there's a fire in the hole (hey hey hey hey hey)
fire!
ah, shoot it!

(guitar solo)

hey-hey-yeah!
huh!
yeah!
hey-hey-yeah!

(hey hey hey hey hey)
there's a fire in the hole
fire in the hole (hey hey hey hey hey)
there's a fire in the hole (hey hey hey hey hey)
fire in the hole (hey hey hey hey hey)

there's a fire, fire, fire
a fire!

rudder of ship, which sets the course
does not the bit, bridle the horse
great is the forest, set by a small flame
like a tongue on fire, no one can tame
