[Verse 1] My grandma told my mama, This boy gonna be the one Gonna have a fast left hand, same as the Seventh Son And then she lit a candle and set it on a rabbits skull She touched a nine volt battery to a wad of steel wool [Chorus] Theres a fire, theres a fire Theres a fire burning all the time Theres a fire, theres a fire Theres a fire burning all the time [Verse 2] I was raised with the Pentecostal, believing the world was true When I was thirteen I got a Flat Top Kalamazoo Ghosts started howling, lightening lit up the dark Smelled like singed hair when it ignited Joan of Ark [Chorus] Theres a fire, theres a fire Theres a fire burning all the time Theres a fire, theres a fire Theres a fire burning all the time [Verse 3] Its a dimes worth of blues and a left hand with speed This woman, yellow jackets clothes, feathers and flower seeds Theres a storm acoming, I dont need a lightening rod And I wont be pushed around bound to mediocre gods I always bless my food, even if its shredded wheat I dont always see the light, but I sure enough feel the heat [Chorus] Theres a fire, theres a fire Theres a fire burning all the time Theres a fire, theres a fire Theres a fire burning all the time Theres a fire, oh, theres a fire Theres a fire burning all the time Oh, theres a fire, oh, theres a fire Theres a fire burning all the time [Outro] Ooh
