Paroles de The Hot House Ball

Weve lived around here most all of our lives
Did most anything we wanted to do
We will celebrate every 4th of july
Just a little tamer than most of the rest of us do

Dont light a match, dont play with fire
Pull down easy on the gas lighter
Theres a shelter down at the veterans hall
Living in the shadow of the hot house ball

We can dance in the streets any night or day
The big ball men built such a nice old park
One day well celebrate every halloween
Our faces as masks everyone glow in the dark

Dont light a match, dont play with fire
Step real lightly round the barb wire
Keep the noise down to hear the meltdown call
Living in the shadow of the hot house ball

Tempers hot, better pray for rain
Better watch out now for the gamma rays
Party time at the government gate

Dont light a match, dont play with fire
Pull down easy on the gas lighter
Theres a shelter down at the veterans hall
Living in the shadow of the hot house ball
