Talking Heads
"Burning down the house"
.
Watch out you might get what you're after .
Boom babies strange but not a stranger .
I'm an ordinary guy .
Burning down the house .
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 .
Here's your ticket pack your bag .
Time for jumpin' overboard .
The transportation is here .
Close enough but not too far, .
Maybe you know where you are .
Fightin' fire with fire
All wet! Hey you might need a raincoat
Shakedown! Dreams walking in broad daylight
Three hun-dred six-ty five de-grees
Burning down the house
It was once upon a place sometimes I listen to myself
Gonna come in first place
People on their way to work and baby what did you except
Gonna burst into flame
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
No visible means of support and you have not seen nothin' yet
Everything's stuck together
And I don't know what you expect starring into the TV set
Fighting fire with fire
