Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We're goin' around
Tryna get higher
Better come down
There's gonna be a fire
We're goin' around
Tryna get higher
Better come down
There's gonna be a fire
[Verse 2]
Smother that, hey
Smother that, hey, y'all
[Verse 3]
The moment of truth is near, oh, yeah
My body trembles with fear
Just like you, I'm a guilty one
Thinkin' 'bout nothing but havin' me some fun, yeah
[Verse 4]
Time's drawing now, no place to hide
Hide, hide, hide, hide
[Verse 5]
We're goin' 'round
Tryna get higher
Better come down
There's gonna be a fire
We're goin' 'round
Tryna get higher
Better come down
There's gonna be a fire
[Verse 6]
Smother that, hey
Smother that, hey, y'all
[Verse 7]
All got to do our part, oh, yeah
Lend a hand and open your heart
It's all up to me and you
We gotta get ready for the moment of truth, yeah
[Verse 8]
(Time's drawing now, there's no place to hide)
[Verse 9]
Time's drawing now, no place to hide
Hide, hide, hide, hide
[Verse 10]
Come on down, come on down, come on down (There's gonna be a fire)
Come on down, come on down, come on down (There's gonna be a fire)
Come on down, come on down, come on down (There's gonna be a fire)
Come on down, come on down, come on down (There's gonna be a fire)
Come on down, come on down, come on down (There's gonna be a fire)
Come on down, come on down, come on down (There's gonna be a fire)
Come on down
