the fireman starts his own fire   for the thrill, for the thrill   i've got an oil spill in my head   and it's spread like a flood      i don't got the answers   i don't got the mind   to stick with one story   follow something blindly   i don't rule things out   i could let you in   my mind's a rollin river   i'll tell you where i've been      sensible madness   terrible sadness   i've felt it all   let it fall, let it fall   i tell you that i love you   do i say it too much   i tell you that i want you   like a chemical rush      mark on my tongue   anchor on my back   i've seen too much   in my mind   it's all stacked up   california burning   louisianna drowning   generation howling      the fireman starts his own fire   for the thrill for the thrill   i've got an oil spill in my head   and it's spread like a flood   like a flood like a flood
