Lyrics

It's been a while since I've recorded anything with this whole buying a house in a different state thing taking up most of my time, but I've had this idea for a while. Now we just need another fireball infestation on the DC Metro and it'll be relevant again ;-).

P.S. This is the only Alicia Keys song I know

---------------------
I’m just a man, and I’m so tired
Just got on the train, t’least I’m not on a highway
I’ve got groceries, and I’m inspired
Got cheese from La Cheeserie, and I know I can cook gourmet
Oh, I’ve got my feet off the ground
Heading right across town
Oh, and then I see a dark cloud
And that’s when I hear the sound….

(come on man, what are we even DOIN’ out here man?)

This Metro’s on FIRE!
This Metro’s on FIRE!
I’m walking on FIRE!
THIS METRO’S ON FIRE!

We’re freakin’ out as fireballs fly
And I can see the flames cookin’ my ribeye
Cillizza’s curled up there and he’s cryin’
Nobody knows what we are goin’ through
But I know one thing’s true
Wiedefeld gon’ let it burn, baby, burn, baby

This Metro’s on FIRE!
This F$%&*^ Metro’s on FIRE!
Who do I have to fire!?
THIS METRO’S ON FIRE!

Why are these metro trains on fire?

    This is great. Love the "burn baby" part. And I don't think you'll have to wait very long for another metro fireball...
