lyrics

May I have your attention
Class is now detention
Try not to let the tension show

Here comes a fire drill
Here comes a fire drill
Nowhere to hide when you're confined to indoors

Less talk, more alcohol
We're out of work

Polar bear in the North Texas zoo
Twelve hundred square foot enclosure
It's a hundred and two

Here comes a fever now
Here comes a fever now
Pray tell what the seashell says that we ought to do

Thermometer Jesus will make a believer out of you

Here comes Thermometer Jesus now

Character:

You know this world really ain't
Big enough for the both of us
Breathing up my oxygen
Taking up my space
Crowds up in my face
Sweating the technique again
While it drips upon my feet and then

See a wound, add the salt
Claustrophobic, at fault
Behold, a melting messiah
To burn me at the stake (all you do is take)
Our father who art in fire, flame
Hallowed be thy name
I suspect some foul play
Thermometer Jesus, come and take me away
