Engine #9

Engine #9

Went to town to see a peep-hole show
Kneadin' myself like a lump of dough
Head started spinnin' 'round
when I heard that fire-bell
way 'cross town

Engine, engine #9
Savin' my soul one more time

Breakin' on through that warehouse wall
Doin' some crime and havin' a ball
Got my hands on a bejeweled crown
when I heard that fire-bell
way 'cross town

I'm a volunteer fireman
who does bad things
I always get stopped
when the fire-bell rings
Maybe it's the Lord
tryin' to give me a sign
when I heard that fire-bell
one more time

Went to the bar just to get into a fight
Had twelve beers and a bottle of rye
Fists started swingin' on some poor clown
when I heard that fire-bell
way 'cross town

Now I know I won't go to Hell
on account of that fire-bell
