Burning Down the House (Live)

[Intro: Chris Frantz]

Who's got a match?

Ha

[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]

Here's your ticket, pack your bag

It's time for jumping overboard

Transportation is here

Close enough but not too far

Maybe you know where you are

Fighting fire with fire

Ah

[Verse 3]

All wet, here, you might need a raincoat

Shakedown, dreams walking in broad daylight

Three hundred sixty-five degrees

Burning down the house

[Chorus]

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

Go ahead

[Instrumental Bridge]

Burning down the house

[Verse 4]

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]

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

Ah

[Instrumental Outro]

Burning down the house

Burning down the house

Burning down the house
