FANNING THE FLAME - Steven Berger © 2000

There?s a fire in this town.
Somebody better cool me down.
My sense of right and wrong?s
down the drain.
I should be putting out embers-
But I?m fanning the flame.

There?s a fire in my neighborhood.
This heat and smoke ain?t doing me no good.
I?m playing with matches, no one else to blame.
I should be putting out embers,
But I?m fanning the flame.

Yeah, I know this ain?t right.
Perhaps I?ll put a stop to it tonight,
Unless she softly calls my name.
I should be putting out embers,
But I?m fanning the flame.

There?s a fire in my life.
I?m getting toasty with Big Jim?s wife.
If my friends knew,
They?d think I?ve gone insane.
I should be putting out embers,
But I?m fanning the flame.
