According to Ian Gillan’s words, this song is a warning – title and unforgettable chorus means that taking drugs will push you into the fire. Drugs will burn, destroy your whole life.
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Take the trouble to decide the things you do
Will not be the things that don't appeal to you
See the mess you're making
Can't you see your faking?
[Chorus]
Going to make it hard for you
You're gonna
Into the fire
[Verse 2]
Turn on to the mandrake that was given to you
See if you can make it like the others do
Feel the blood a knocking
When you're finger-popping
[Chorus]
Going to make it hard for you
You're gonna
Into the fire
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Stop your bleeding mind before it's over and done
Listen very closely to the message I've sung
Feel the blood a knocking
When you're finger-popping
[Chorus]
Gonna get a message through
You're gonna
Into the fire
[Outro]
