Talking Heads - Burning Down The House lyrics

Your rating:
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 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  baby what did you except
Gonna burst into flame 

My house s'out of the ordinary
That's might  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 nuthin' yet
Everything's stuck together
I don't know what you expect starring into the TV set
Fighting fire with fire
