Fire In The Hole Lyrics

Cover art for Fire In The Hole lyrics by Steely Dan

This song is about a man going to see a dominatrix- that's the woman's voice. He's repentant about his perceived transgressions and frustrated about the disparity between his worldly wisdom and failure to excel in the corporate world. The questioned self identity arises in an effective BDSM session; of course he feels like a freak. The fire in the hole is from anal play. The yellow stripe is just that- perhaps from a sound caning.
