The Bar's On Fire - The Bottle Rockets

Last Thursday night in Pittsburgh PA

We played a small bar called the Next Decade

During our show a riot broke out

And from the back of the bar, I heard someone shout

Oh my god the bar’s on fire

Someone save the beer

As the fire spread, it was getting warm

We were right in the middle of a five alarm

The room was filled with so much smoke

I could barely hear what someone choked

Oh my god the bar’s on fire

Someone save the beer

Outside the club there was quite a scene

With lots of flashing lights and loud sirens

And as the firemen ran into the blazing hell

I thought I heard one of them yell

Oh my god the bar’s on fire

Someone save the beer

Another minute in there and we’d cremiate

But as I ran for my life I did hesitate

'Cause there was one thing on my mind

That was to never leave a drink behind

Oh my god the bar’s on fire

Someone save the beer

Truth be known there wasn’t much of a fire

Just an A.C. unit with a faulty wire
