Burning Down the House

[Verse 1]

Watch out

You might get what you're after

Cool, babies!

Strange but not a stranger

I'm an ordinary guy

Burning down the house

[Verse 2]

Hold tight

Wait 'til the party's over

Hold tight

We're in for nasty weather

There has got to be a way

Burning down the house

[Chorus 1]

Here's your ticket, pack your bag

It's time for jumping overboard

The transportation is here

Close enough but not too far

Maybe you know where you are

Fighting fire with fire

[Verse 3]

All wet

Here, you might need a raincoat

Shakedown

Dreams walking in broad daylight

Three hundred 'n sixty-five degrees

Burning down the house

[Chorus 2]

It was once upon a place

Sometimes I listen to myself

Gonna come in first place

People on their way to work

Say, “Baby, what did you expect?”

Gonna burst into flame

[Verse 4]

Oh

My house

'S out of the ordinary

That’s right

Don't want to hurt nobody

Some things sure can sweep me off my feet

Burning down the house

[Chorus 3]

No visible means of support

And you have not seen nothing yet

Everything's stuck together

I don't know what you expect

Staring into the TV set

Fighting fire with fire

[Instrumental]
