Burning Down The House

In the style of

Talking Heads

Lyrics

ah 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 jumpin'
overboard
the transportation
is here

close enough
but not too far
maybe you know
where you are
fightin' fire with fire
ah

all wet
here you might need
a raincoat
shakedown
dreams walkin' in
broad daylight

three hundred
sixty-five degrees
burning down
the house ah

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 ah

burning down
the house

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
staring into
the tv set
fightin' fire with fire
ah
