Fires Near My House

there's a fire that started about a mile from my house. they suspect arson. there's already fires everywhere, including the next town over, which is getting pretty out of control.

a ton of the roads, including parts of i-95 are closed off, so all of the huge damn trucks have to pass through my dinky town. it makes traffic hella horrible. it took ten minutes to get to the grocery store, and it normally takes a minute or two at the most. there's been a few accidents just today.

it smells horrible outside.

that suuucks.. our hot-water heater was pouring out water last night. we had to get a new one

i hate when that happens.

Watch out you might get what you're after
Cool babies strange but not a stranger
I'm an ordinary guy
Burning down the house

Hold tight wait till the party's over
Hold tight We're in for nasty weather
There has got to be a way
Burning down the house

Here's your ticket pack your bag: time for jumpin' overboard
The transportation is here
Close enough but not too far, Maybe you know where you are
Fightin' fire with fire

All wet hey you might need a raincoat
Shakedown dreams walking in broad daylight
Three hun-dred six-ty five de-grees
Burning down the house

It was once upon a place sometimes I listen to myself
Gonna come in first place
People on their way to work baby what did you except
Gonna burst into flame

My house S'out of the ordinary
That's might Don't want to hurt nobody
Some things sure can sweep me off my feet
Burning down the house

No visible means of support and you have not seen nuthin' yet
Everything's stuck together
I don't know what you expect starring into the TV set
Fighting fire with fire

One of my friends died in a fire our senior year. She and her little sister couldn't get out, but her parents did. It was horrible.

fire.

kegmama- thanks! it's been pretty controlled the past few days. they've finally re-opened I-95, no more trucks.

krastian- that's sad.

Yeah I know....I probably shouldn't have even mentioned it.

Two years ago two houses burned down across the street from me within a week. It was pretty wierd.
