out of the frying pan (and into the fire)



It's only two o'clock and the temperture's beginning to soar

And all around the city you see the walking wounded and the living dead

It's never been this hot and i've never been so bored

Out of the frying pan (and into the fire)

Out of the frying pan (and into the fire)



And i wanna take you out of the frying pan (and into the fire)

Out of the frying pan (and in
