Lyrics

(Steve walsh / steve morse / bob ezrin / phil ehart)

She strides down 7th street
Smokey night - summer heat
Commotion - concrete fires
Where neon souls are burning

His whole life - a hung jury
She was the crime - wheel's gonna pay
She's got blue steel; cocked and locked
She is justice - justice is burning

She's turning the tables upside down
She's like a flame; she's burning higher
She's like a house on fire - house on fire

Wheel feels lucky - drinkin' blind
One track mind - sheer distraction
Steps on cracks, breakin' backs
Nothin's sacred on the other side

He turns left - she turns right
They both step through the veil of night
Cold blue steel reflection
And wheel's got nowhere to hide

She's turning the tables upside down
She's like a flame; she's burning higher
She's like a house on fire - house on fire
Players of passion playing with fire
Streetlights are flashing but who are they for
Fisted love fueling fantasy
Is love worth the fire he's asking for
