Intro: Verse 1: As he combed his hair the night called out his name Like every hero he had to brag and show his fame Well Joey's got to prove he's the leader of the pack But once you've started running there ain't no turning back He's the kid that cried wolf and got the blame So Joey's on the street again, but his freedoms running out When you play with fire, one tear can put it out verse 2: Everybody wants Joey to act his age But like an eagle he's locked in a parrots cage Well Joey's got to prove he's the leader of the pack But once you've started running there ain't no turning back He's the kid that cried wolf and got the blame So Joey's on the street again, but his freedoms running out When you play with fire, one tear can put it out Solo: Joey's on the street again, his freedoms running out But when you play with fire, one tear can put it out verse 3 (key change): So he winks to the mirror and brides don't wear his ring Even if I'm caught I'll escape and try again Well Joey's got to prove he's the leader of the pack But once you start a running there ain't no turning back He's the kid that cried wolf and got the blame Well Joey's on the street again, but his freedoms running out When you play with fire, one tear can put it out Joey's on the street again, but his freedoms running out When you play with fire, one tear can put it out Joey's on the street again, his freedoms running out When you play with fire, one tear can put it out Joey's on the street again, his freedoms running out When you play with fire, one tear can put it out (fade out)
