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 From Letras Mania
