Lyrics

[Verse]
John Elliott from Tangam he built his own flame
Bricks and mortar pizza dreams in a twisted game
Tess the border collie she had a wild bark
And lit the fires in dark

[Chorus]
Oven inferno flames licking the sky
Stuck inside with a dog gone wild he cries
Smell of dough and danger in the night air
Fighting flames for pizza and life's spare

[Verse 2]
Sweat and smoke mix on his brow steady hands
Glistening with terror fighting to withstand
Tess nipping and biting chaos takes his mind
In the heat of the oven sanity he can't find

[Chorus]
Oven inferno flames licking the sky
Stuck inside with a dog gone wild he cries
Smell of dough and danger in the night air
Fighting flames for pizza and life's spare

[Bridge]
Each bark echoes madness in the fiery den
Home rescue tackles the inferno without a friend
Claw marks and embers leaving scars in this bout
Elliott howls Tess barks none hearing them shout

[Verse 3]
Flames die down in the light of his fight
Ashes and cinders all that's left of his night
John and Tess survivors of the blaze
Standing together through the smoke-filled haze
