Burn the House Down Songtext
von Jonas

I met a sketchy little woman and she walked a crooked line
Took a page from a bible, turnin′ water into wine
Talked about her spirits, said she had a crystal ball
Even spoke with the devil, made a telephone call
With her hocus pocus oils and brews
Everything she did was front page news
The people all came on a Saturday night
Run her out of town, and if she puts up a fight
Burn the house down
Burn the house down, throw away the key

So the bishop takes his queen across the checkerboard square
Took a rose from her garden and a lock from her hair
Talks a mumble jumble 'bout the moon and the stars
Said he′s walkin' on water when he's drivin′ his car
Another Saturday night and the newspapers read
The holy man died, he was smokin′ in bed


Burn the house down
Burn the house down
Burn it to the ground (Burn, burn)
Burn the house down, throw away the key

Oh, sleepin' all alone, there′s a knock on your door
On your knees and prayin' ′cause your life is a war
Say Hail Mary as you're runnin′ out of town
And thank the Lord you're livin' as they burn your house down

Burn the house down
Burn the house down
Burn it to the ground (Burn, burn)
Burn the house down, throw away the key

I met a sketchy little woman and she walked a crooked line
Took a page from a bible, turnin′ water into wine
Talked about her spirits, said she had a crystal ball
Even spoke with the devil, made a telephone call


Burn the house down (Burn, burn)
Burn the house down (Burn, burn)
Burn it to the ground (Burn, burn)
Burn the house down
Burn, burn, burn, burn the house down (Burn, burn)
Burn the house down (Burn, burn)
Burn it to the ground (Burn, burn)
Burn the house down, throw away the key
