Fire In The Hole Lyrics

Cover art for Fire In The Hole lyrics by Steely Dan

'Fire in the Hole' was a phrase used by US soldiers in Vietnam when they tossed grenades into VC bunkers - meaning stand clear, there's going to be an explosion. May not be relevant.

@pconl I am sure there is SOME connection between that and the meaning of the song. But like always, figuring that connection out is difficult AND not an exact science. Amd I don’t think he and Becker wanted to help anyone in that regard, because if you figured out exactly what their song lyrics meant, it would help you figure THEM out and they didn’t want that.
