Lyrics

Jump While the House Is on Fire

Yes, I was a misfit

Yeah‚ I would never know

Looking back after all these years

A real anti-social

How should I know

Isn't everybody near the fire

And the ruins down below?

Callin' me‚ callin' me‚ callin' me

Gotta jump while the house is on fire

Watch it burn, watch it burn

Gotta jump while the house is on fire

Survive the fall, Survive the fall

(repeat x2)

The fall

Thought I was a real smart guy

Yeah‚ I'd live through the fall

Livin' on them pins and needles

Sure feels right at home

How would I know

Isn't everybody near the fire

And the ruins down below?

Callin' me, callin' me, callin' me

Gotta jump while the house is on fire

Watch it burn‚ watch it burn

Gotta jump while the house is on fire

Survive the fall, Survive the fall

(repeat x2)

The fall

How would I know

Of the other things to eat my flesh

And keep sickening my brain?

Callin' me, callin' me, callin' me

Gotta jump while the house is on fire

Watch it burn, watch it burn

Gotta jump while the house is on fire

Survive the fall, Survive the fall

(repeat x2)

The fall
