Stop getting me off track. 
I mean it, there's a problem here.
This time it is for real... 
how can I make myself more clear? 

I never say quite what I mean, and never mean quite what I say,
and how did that get out of me, and what the hell did I mean to say? 

This time it is for real. 
This is a real emergency. 
This time I swear it is the truth... 
this must be dealt with urgently! 

I never say quite what I mean, and never mean quite what I say, 
and how did that get out of me, and what the hell did I mean to say?

There's a fire. There's a fire. 

I really mean it now, 
this time I swear I have not lied. 
This isn't like the last time... 
I swear to God I have not lied! 

I never say quite what I mean, and never mean quite what I say, 
and how did that get out of me, and what the hell did I mean to say?

There's a fire. There's a fire.
