Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's only two o'clock and the temperature's beginning to soar
And all around the city you see the walkin' wounded
And the living dead
It's never been this hot, and I've never been so bored
And breathin' is just no fun anymore
And then I saw ya like a summer dream
And you're the answer to every prayer that I ever said
Ooh, I saw ya like a summer dream
And you're the answer to every prayer that I ever said
[Verse 2]
You can feel the pulse of the pavement racing like a runaway horse
The subways are steaming and the skin of the streets
Is a-gleamin' with sweat
[Verse 3]
I see ya sittin' on the steps outside, and you were lookin' so restless
And reckless and lost
I think it's time for you to come inside
I'll be waiting here with something that you'll never forget
I think it's time for you to come inside
I'll be waiting here with something that you'll never forget
[Verse 4]
Come on, come on, and there'll be no turnin' back
You were only killin' time and it'll kill ya right back
Come on, come on, it's time to burn up the fuse
You got nothing to do and even less to lose
You've got nothing to do and even less to lose
[Verse 5]
So wander down the ancient hallway
Takin' the stairs, only one at a time
Follow the sound of my heartbeat, I'm in the room at the top
You're at the end of the line
Open the door and lay down on the bed
The sun is just a ball of desire
[Verse 6]
And I wanna take you outta the frying pan
(Into the fire) Out of the frying pan
(And into the fire) Out of the frying pan
And into the fire
[Verse 7]
Ooh, I wanna take you outta the frying pan
(Into the fire) Out of the frying pan
(And into the fire) Oh, out of the frying pan
And into the fire
And into the fire, fire, fire
And into the fire, fire, fire
And into the fire, fire, fire
And into the fire
[Verse 8]
Oh
It's only two o'clock and the temperature's beginning to soar
And all around the city you see the walkin' wounded
And the living dead
It's never been this hot, and I've never been so bored
And breathin' is just no fun anymore
And then I saw ya like a summer dream
And you're the answer to every prayer that I ever said
Ooh, I saw ya like a summer dream
And you're the answer to every prayer that I ever said
Come on, come on, and there'll be no turnin' back
You were only killin' time and it'll kill ya right back
Come on, come on, it's time to burn up the fuse
You got nothin' to do and even less to lose
You've got nothin' to do and even less to lose
[Verse 9]
So wander down the ancient hallway
Takin' the stairs, only one at a time
Follow the sound of my heartbeat, now I'm in the room at the top
You're at the end of the line
Open the door and lay down on the bed
The sun is just a ball of desire
[Verse 10]
And I wanna take you outta the frying pan
(Into the fire) Out of the frying pan
(And into the fire) Out of the frying pan
And into the fire
Ooh, I wanna take you outta the frying pan
(And into the fire) Out of the frying pan
(And into the fire) Out of the frying pan
And into the fire, and into the, and into the (Fire), and into the
And into the fire, fire, fire
And into the fire, fire, fire
And into the fire, fire, fire
Oh, and into the fire (Fire, fire)
[Verse 11]
And into the fire, fire, fire
And into the fire, fire, fire
And into the fire, fire, fire
Oh, oh, oh, oh, fire
