Ahhh, 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
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 bags, time for jumping
overboard
The transportation is here
Close enough but not too
far, maybe you know
where you are

Fightin' fire with fire, ahhh.
All wet, here you might
need a raincoat

Shakedown, dreams
walking in broad daylight
Three hundred sixty
five degrees

Burning down the house,
ahhh.
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,
ahhh.
Burning down the house
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.
No visible means of
support and you have not

seen nothin' yet
Everything's stuck together
And I don't know what you
expect staring into the TV
set

Fighting fire with fire, ahhh.
