I came 'round to your front door, your back door was locked<br /> Pushed your button, rang your bell, you didn't hear me knock<br /> I saw your window open wide, so I crawled inside<br /> I ran to the top floor, but you were on the ground<br /> I was on my way up and you were going down<br /> <br /> Fire in the basement<br /> Burn me up, scream and shout<br /> There's fire in the basement<br /> Only you can put it out<br /> <br /> This strange sensation that I'm going through<br /> Sweet infatuation when I get next to you<br /> I know what it takes to be a man, you understand<br /> 'Cause when the sparks start flying you'll never be the same<br /> You know I'll hate to leave you girl but I'm so glad I came<br /> <br /> Fire in the basement<br /> Burn me up, scream and shout<br /> Fire in the basement<br /> Only you can put it out<br /> <br /> Smoky eyes burning bright<br /> Innocence lost, satisfy my appetite<br /> Surrender to the flame, what's your name<br /> Let's get down to business, how can you refuse<br /> Give this boy a helping hand, come on light my fuse
