burning down the house (Live at Gov Ball)

[Spoken: Olivia Rodrigo]

Ladies and gentlemen, I'm so honored to share the stage tonight with this special guest

Will you give it up for the legendary David Byrne?

[Verse 1: David Byrne, David Byrne & Olivia Rodrigo]

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: Olivia Rodrigo, Olivia Rodrigo & David Byrne]

Hold tight

Wait till the party's over

Hold tight

We're in for nasty weather

There has got to be a way

Burning down the house

[Chorus: David Byrne, David Byrne & Olivia Rodrigo]

Here's your ticket, pack your bag

It's time for jumping overboard

The transportation is here

Closе enough but not too far

Maybe you know wherе you are

Fighting fire with fire

Aah

[Verse 3: David Byrne, David Byrne & Olivia Rodrigo]

All wet

Here, you might need a raincoat

Shake-down

Dreams walking in broad daylight

Three hundred sixty-five degrees

Burning down the house

[Chorus: Olivia Rodrigo, Olivia Rodrigo & David Byrne, David Byrne]

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, aah

[Chorus: David Byrne & Olivia Rodrigo]

Burning down the house

[Verse 4: Olivia Rodrigo & David Byrne, Olivia Rodrigo, David Byrne]

My house

Is out of the ordinary

That's right

Don't wanna hurt nobody

Some things sure can sweep me off my feet

Burning down the house

[Chorus: Olivia Rodrigo & David Byrne]

No visible means of support

And you have not seen nothing yet

Everything's stuck together

And I don't know what you expect

Staring into the TV set

Fighting fire with fire, aah

[Bridge: David Byrne]

Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, ah

[Chorus: Olivia Rodrigo, Olivia Rodrigo & David Byrne, David Byrne]

Burning down the house

Burning down the house, woo

[Spoken: Olivia Rodrigo]

Woo, give it up for David

[Outro: David Byrne & Olivia Rodrigo]

Burning down the house
