One hot summer's day
I was playing in the arcade
I never thought I'd see flames
Rising out of my favorite games

Great arcade fire
Great arcade fire
Great arcade fire
Great arcade fire

I'm looking at our stage
The lion in our cage
They lit the cage on fire
It was supposed to disappear
Oh no, the lion's on fire
The lion's on fire
The lion's on fire
The lion's on fire
My god, the lion's on fire
My good god, the lion's on fire

When I was a little kid
I was sleeping in my bed
My mom said, "Wake up, sleepyhead
The house is on fire, follow me"
We ran downstairs past the burning Christmas tree
Christmas on fire
Christmas on fire
Christmas on fire
Christmas on fire
Christmas on fire
My god, Christmas on fire
My good god, Christmas on fire
Tonight

This happens every time
This happens every time
This happens every time
This happens every time
