Hot House Ball — текст песни (Bruce Hornsby And The Range)

We`ve 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

Don`t light a match, don`t play with fire
Pull down easy on the gas lighter
There`s a shelter down at the veteran`s 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 we`ll celebrate every halloween
Our faces as masks everyone glow in the dark

Don`t light a match, don`t 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

Temper`s hot, better pray for rain
Better watch out now for the gamma rays
Party time at the government gate

Don`t light a match, don`t play with fire
Pull down easy on the gas lighter
There`s a shelter down at the veteran`s hall
Living in the shadow of the hot house ball
