Burning Down the House Songtext
von Talking Heads

Watch out you, might get what you′re after
Cool baby, strange but not a stranger
I'm an ordinary guy

Burning down the house

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

Here′s your ticket, pack your bag
Time for jumpin′ overboard
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
365 degrees

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, baby, what did you expect?
Gonna burst into flame

Burning down the house

My house is 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

No visible means of support and you have not seen nothin′ yet
Everything's stuck together
I don′t know what you expect staring into the TV set
Fightin' fire with fire
